Last month, our class went on a trip to Bengaluru and we were very excited about the journey. Riya packed her bag carefully and she checked everything twice. Ravi wanted to sit near the window but Raj wanted the same seat. They decided to share it so they did not argue. The journey was long but everyone remained cheerful. Meera felt sleepy but she stayed awake to enjoy the scenery. We saw green fields and rivers flowing beside the road. The bus stopped for lunch so we ate together happily. Some students were tired but they continued exploring the museum. The guide explained the history clearly and the students listened attentively.

The teacher explained a new lesson, and I listened attentively so I could understand everything clearly. During recess, I wanted to play outside, but it started raining so we stayed inside and played board games. It was a long day, but I enjoyed learning new things.
