Today I went to the beach The sea looked so beautiful.It made me think of great family holidays when I was a child. We always went to the beach for a week in the summer. I remembered playing games with my sister and crying when I couldn't have any ice cream. Oh, and I remembered finding a huge jellyfish (水母)on the beach.We ran away quickly because we were
afraid of it！What thing from your childhood(童年) do you remember?
