Teacher: Ikee

Last summer, I went to Jeju island where my Grandma has a house.  Her house is very big and comfortable to rest in.  My Grandma said that she had a big tangerine orchard and a garden, so we  headed down to see.  We actually were very curious about her orchard!  When we arrived, we went right in and saw lots of tangerines.   Some were underripe and some were deliciously ripe.  Also, there were lots of vegetables growing, too.  When my grandma showed me how to cut the tangerines, we cut them in perfect shapes. Seeing all the ripe tangerines made me very hungry.  Then we went for a walk in my Grandma's woods.  There were lots of leaves that had fallen on the ground so it was very soft to step on them.  

When we got out of the forest, we ate a delicious lunch and went to the beach.  We put on swimming suits and got into the cool water. Splash! Again, the weather was very hot, but the cool temperature of the water made me forget the heat of the summer.  When my father pumped all the air into the raft, we rode on the raft. It was a rowboat, but since the wind was very strong and the waves were strong and a little high, we could do exciting boat-surfing!  It was so much fun,  I could not feel that I had a cough and a fever. When I got home, I could feel that I had a cold, but it did not matter because I had a very fun day at my favorite island, Jeju Island!
