Sample Essay – My Summer Vacation
I had a fantastic summer vacation! My family and I spent a lot of time at the beach. We also went on a trip to Disney World. We ended our summer by traveling to southern California for a soccer tournament. It was nice to be able to spend so much time with my family this summer.

We stayed at a hotel called The Beach Club, and the pool there actually had sand at the bottom of it. It was fun to travel all the way to Florida.
As my vacation was coming to an end, we made a trip to Huntington
Beach for my daughter’s soccer tournament. It was the first one we had been to since May, and I was anxious to see her team play. The weekend was filled with high-scoring soccer games and the company of good friends.
Although I felt like a chicken roasting over an open flame in the extreme heat, I was grateful that I was not the one having to run around the soccer field. Haley’s team made it all the way to the finals. After playing an extremely physical game involving somersaults, bruised bodies, and a yellow
