TRANSCRIPT

During my vacation, I visit a beautiful island. At the local market, the seller charges me 10 euros to buy a handmade necklace. I think I need to limit how much I spend because I want to save for other activities. Before heading out to explore the island, I charge my phone so I can take photos of the stunning views. The tour guide cites the best spots to visit on the island but warns us to stay close because the path can be slippery. Later, my friend jokingly threatens to take my camera if I don’t let her take a few pictures. After the tour, I charge my phone again and enjoy a peaceful evening by the sea. (119 words)
