3. Have you ever had any trouble due to unexpected weather? Who were you with? How did you deal with the situation? Tell me everything that happened.
- I remember going to Ha Long Bay with my family last summer.
- We had a plan to stay there for two days.
- On the first day, the weather was amazing. It was sunny and cozy. We went swimming and played football on the beach.
- However, the next day when I got up, it suddenly rained. It kept raining all day, so I had to stay inside the hotel. I couldn't visit many tourist attractions like I expected. I only stayed in the hotel to read books and to listen to music.
- Looking back, the trip was boring because of the bad weather.
