READING Alice, 23 y.o
Hi! I’m Alice, and I really love summer. The weather is warm, the days are long,
and there are so many fun things to do. I like spending time outside, feeling
the sun, and doing activities with my friends and family. That’s why I made a
summer bucket list — a list of things I want to do before the season ends.
Here’s what’s on my list:
• Go hiking in the mountains
• Have a picnic in the park
• Take photos of nature
• Try stand-up paddleboarding
• Learn how to ride a bike
Last weekend, I went hiking with my cousin. It was hard but fun! We walked for
two hours and saw a beautiful view at the top of the mountain. The weather
was sunny and not too hot. We also took a lot of great pictures with our
phones.
Next weekend, I want to go to the park and have a picnic with my friends. I will
bring some snacks, drinks, and a big blanket to sit on. I also want to sunbathe
a little and read a book. I think it will be a relaxing day.
I hope I can do everything on my list. Summer is short, so I want to enjoy it as
much as possible!
