Section C Practice 17

Set A

          During the school holiday, my school organised a trip to Pulau Tioman. We went to the jetty by bus. At the jetty we took a ferry to the island. The ferry ride took about an hour.

When we reached Pulau Tioman, there was a bus waiting for us. We took the bus to Tioman Resort Hotel.

          We stayed at the hotel for three days. We went to the beach after that. We were swimming and kayaking together. We were very excited and happy. The next day, we rode a boat to the sea. There, we went snorkelling. It was fun and we saw exotic fishes under the sea and beautiful corals.

           On the third day, it was time to go home. We went to the souvenir shop to buy some souvenirs to bring home.

Set B

          During the school holidays, my school organised a trip to Pulau Tioman. It was a three days and two nights trip. About forty pupils and 4 teachers joined this trip. All of us waited for the bus early in the morning at the school compound. When the bus came we boarded it excitedly.

          It took us about two hours to reach Mersing Jetty. We had to ride a ferry to Pulau Tioman. After waiting for half an hour for the teachers to settle our tickets, the ferry arrived. We boarded the ferry carefully and it took about an hour for us to reach our destination. During the ferry ride, all of us enjoyed the cool sea breeze and beautiful scenery.

          When we reached Pulau Tioman, there was a bus waiting for us. We boarded the bus and it took us to Tioman Resort Hotel. We were welcomed by the hotel staffs and the tour guides. We were given welcome drinks and snacks.

          We were told that we would be staying at the hotel for three days. We went into our room to put our luggage. After that, we quickly came out of our rooms and went to the beach. The beach was beautiful and the sea water was as clear as crystal. We shouted excitedly and jumped into the sea. We were swimming and kayaking together.

          The next day, after breakfast, we gathered at the hotel lobby. The tour guide told us that there was a speed boat waiting to bring us to the sea. There, we would be snorkelling and diving in the sea. It was fun and we saw exotic fishes under the sea and beautiful colourful corals.

           On the third day, it was time to go home. We packed our belongings sadly. While waiting for the ferry, we were taken to a few souvenir shops there. We bought some souvenirs to bring home.
