Hi, my name is ChanHyuk Lee, and I'm going to tell you what I did during my summer vacation last year. I was in the United States as an exchange student. I was living in Omaha, Nebraska, with my host family. The names of my host family members were: Mason, Bailey, Brooklyn, Dan, and Sheryl. One day, we went to a cabin that my host uncle owned. The cabin was originally used for hunting, but there were a lot of things we could do while staying there. When we arrived, we ate lunch first. Then, my friends watched TV. While they were watching TV, I was walking around and looking at all the things they had around the cabin. There was a trampoline, sand volleyball court, a lake we could swim in, and much more. I started jumping on the trampoline, then my friends got out of the cabin and they pulled out something that looked like a mini truck. I asked them what it is was, and they told me it was called a four-wheeler. After they started up the four-wheeler, they said I could sit in the back. There were three four-wheelers. My younger host sister, Brooklyn, rode with her friend; my host brother, "Mason," rode with me; and my host sister, Bailey, rode with her boyfriend. After that, we rode our four-wheelers away from the cabin. It was really exciting, especially for me, because it was my first time. We were riding four-wheelers in the mud and just messing around. Later, Bailey and Brooklyn left, leaving one four-wheeler for me. So we played until sunset. I told Mason that I was getting cold, so we tried to get out of there. But, Mason's four-wheeler wasn't working. I’m guessing he rode it on the wet ground too long. So I went back to the cabin to get Dan to help Mason. After he helped Mason, we all went back to the cabin and ate a delicious dinner. I will never forget this day. It was the most memorable day I had during my stay in America.
