Male Female

To talk about the occasion that my friends and I had together in the summer, we decided to take a short trip after finishing our final term of grade 11 and receiving quite good marks on our tests. By chance, we found out that the city next to mine was having an annual festival, so we decided to go there and enjoy the party as much as we could. We took the motorbike that we usually used to get to school. However, after riding for a while, we ran out of petrol. We could not start the motor again, so we struggled. It was about a 13-minute ride to the nearest gas station, and we were extremely disappointed and didn’t know what to do. We decided to go to the gas station on foot and take the motorbike with us. Since we were out of control, it was something we could not repair either, so we just tried to walk and get help. It was quite an adventure, but we managed to make the best of the situation.
