Story: A Day at the Beach

Today, I go to the beach with my family. The sun shines brightly, and the sky is blue without any clouds.

The sand is warm and soft under my feet. I walk to the water and feel the cool waves touch my toes. They come and go, making a gentle sound.

I start to build a big sandcastle. I use my bucket and shovel to make towers and walls. The sandcastle looks amazing! Sometimes, a wave comes close, but my castle stays safe.

I see children running and playing with colorful beach balls. I grab my ball and join them. We throw the ball, jump, and laugh. The beach is full of fun!

After playing, I sit on a towel and eat a sandwich. It tastes so good in the fresh, salty air. I sip some juice and feel happy and relaxed.

Seagulls fly above, calling out as they search for food. I watch them and smile. The sea sparkles in the sunlight, making everything look beautiful.

I hear people talking and laughing, and I see friends building sandcastles together. Some are collecting seashells, and others are splashing in the water.

The day goes by quickly, and the sun starts to set. The sky turns orange and pink, and it is so pretty. I feel tired but very happy.

A day at the beach is always fun. I love playing in the sand, feeling the waves, and enjoying the sun. I can’t wait to come back again!
