CONTENT OF THE LESSON

HOW I SPENT MY LAST HOLIDAY

I spent my last holidays in Lagos. I stayed at my friend’s house. Lagos is a big and beautiful city. There are many things to see and enjoy in Lagos. My friend and I went to the harbours and we saw hundreds of ship. We enjoyed the boat rides and visited some of the island in Lagos, which is the Victoria Island. We also visited the Victoria Garden City and the Ajah Shopping Mall.

At night we visited night market and parks. At we went around the city, I saw a lot of beautiful things, clothes in the shops. I brought a few things for my brothers, sisters and myself. I returned home only one day before my school reopened. I really enjoyed my stay in Lagos. Source – Success English Composition.com

It’s a fun and creative way to bring the holiday spirit into our home and it always puts me in a good mood.
