UNIT 9
Last year I went on a trip with my family to THE BAJAMAS. We visited many
beaches. I took my brothers surfing and made sand castles near the water that
was a bad idea because later on I noticed that a wave had destroyed my
awesome sand castles. After that, we ate a delicious fish with some patacones.
My brother didn’t finish his dish so I ate his patacones too, they were very good.
I took a nap in a hammock while my brothers went surfing again. I went back to
the seashore where my brothers found a seashell a while ago. That was a very

and leave money in return. Once I got home, I ran up the stairs and stuck it
under my pillow, and tried to go to sleep right away. My mom noticed me and
called me down telling me that THE TOOTH FAIRY wasn’t going to come so
quickly. I needed to be patient so I started playing video games to pass the time.
Soon enough it was 9pm already, I headed to my room and fell asleep. Next
morning I completely forgot about my tooth and ate breakfast as I usually do in
the mornings. My mom then asked. Did THE TOOTH FAIRY come last night? I

the best feeling ever. I can’t wait until my next tooth falls out.

Hi, my name is Thay, I’m 18 years old this is the way I start my day. I wake
up at 5 o’clock in the morning and I work out for half an hour. Then I take a
shower and brush my teeth with my favorite toothpaste. After that, I get
dressed for breakfast and, have some eggs and a glass of orange juice. Later, I
take the bus to go to school. My school starts at 8am and ends at 3pm. After I
get home, I like to watch some tv and play videogames. If I have homework, I do
it before going out to play soccer with my friends. We play for a few hours then
