The Ocean
By Joaquin
If you visit the shore, you’ll soon notice the daily rise and fall of the water, which we call tide.
One hot summer day my friend and I were playing soccer in my back yard. It was really hot. Then we went inside for a drink of water. Then my friend asked me if I wanted to go to the ocean. I said, “OK, let’s go.” I asked my mom if I could go and if I could invite my friend. She said “OK, but only if his mom lets him.” So we went to go ask his mom and she said “OK.”
He got his stuff and we went straight to the ocean. We were happy. When we got there, my little niece went to the shallow water. We climbed the mountain and we saw a bulge on top of the mountain. It was cool up there. We lost our energy so we drank water and rested to beg back our energy. We climbed back down and went straight to the ocean. We saw a boat move to the inlet. My dad brought a boat too.
We were getting hungry so we ate some sandwiches. It was good. Then my dad said we could ride the boat. It was cool! There were lots of fish. My friend and my family had lots of fun at the ocean.
China
By Erick
China is one of the oldest known civilizations. Beginning thousands of years ago, powerful families took control and ruled this enormous region. A family that ruled for a long period of time became known as a dynasty. Influences from many of these great dynasties have survived to this day.
I am trying to convince my friends Valentin and Abraham to come join me on a trip to China because inhabitants of China are very cool. The people there eat food that I’ve never seen before like bugs, rats and other animals I can’t even think of. I guess their food is like that because they don’t have anything else to eat or they will have famine.
Many people wear elaborate clothes because that is part of their culture or civilization. In China there are many farm lands. Some people make terraces for their crops can grow better.
The governor of China is part of a large administrative group. There are thousands and thousands of people living there.
Torres Fun Land
By Daniel
Visit the shore of the Torres. Lie down and relax or get wet at the water park. It’s shallow so kids won’t drown and there is a pool for grown ups too.
We can give you a relaxing massage and we have a spa for girls and women. Men, you can go to the sports room and work out at the gym. We will give free Gatorade to give you energy.
We have a fair next to the inlet. It has a ferris wheel, bumper cars, basketball, small games, a haunted house and a big jumper. Be careful, it takes a while for it to generate the bulge.
It is fun here. Come visit us. Call us at 000-000-0000 or visit us at TorresFunLand.com. Hope you visit us soon.
The Beach Vacation
By Jesus
If you visit the shore you’ll soon notice the daily rise and fall of the water. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun.
My dad told me “Well, I’m off to work now.” I said “OK, bye.” My two friends came to invite me to the pool. I went to ask my mom. She said “OK.” We went on bikes. When we got there, we put our swimming clothes on. We jumped in. It was no shallow like last year. We were there for three hours. My dad called and said, “We are going on a trip to the ocean.” I asked if my friends could go. He said “OK” and they asked their parents. We packed up and one hour later we got there. My dad said the car needs more energy to run. We were on the ocean. We put on our swimming clothes. We started to walk around. We saw the man that generated more power to make the viper go faster.
We saw an inlet. There were about 35 boats. Luis and Jorge started to swim. I didn’t because I had to fix the bulge part of the boat. Then we fixed it. I went in. The water was fresh. We left at 7:00 at night. When we got home I went to sleep. I was very tired after fixing the boat.

If you visit the shore, you soon notice the daily rise and fall of the water which we call tides. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun.
One Saturday night at 6:00 my best friends Leidy and Mayte and I went to the ocean because we had a lot of things on our mind. We couldn’t get them out so we were just laying down watching the boats in the inlet.
Leidy and Mayte and I went swimming. Mayte was losing her energy so we took her out! The ocean was beautiful and the waves pitched the small boat in the inlet. Some places in the ocean it was shallow and you could barely swim or get fish. Mayte and Leidy and I were playing beach ball. The ball bulged because the air was coming out.
The wind generated high waves. Mayte was telling us that the moon’s gravitational pull affects the tides. She said, “Did you know that?” We said yes and then we went inside to go and eat some abalone with salsa and lemon.
