last weekend  my classmates and I went camping.
we found a grassy spot beside a river.
we put up our tents and made a camp fire.
then, we fished at the river.
we had only one fishing rod, so we took turns.
after a while, we caught a big trout.
finally, we sat around the fire, roasted the fish and sang songs.
camping is really fun!
