Once upon a time， there lived a girl named Emma. She lived with her parentsand her younger brother， Lucas. They all were going on a road trip to Goa. All ofthem were very excited！ They got into the car and went on the pleasant1 road.“Dad，how long will it take to reach there？”asked Emma.“About 8 to 9 hours，”saidEmmas dad. “Oh， that is a lot！ ”said Lucas in surprise. They listened to music，stopped to have some food and took a lot of photos on the way to Goa.

Nine hours later， they got to Goa.“Listen！ I have big news for you！ ”saidEmmas mother excitedly. “What？ What？ Please tell me！”asked Emma. “We arehere！ We have reached our hotel！ ”said Emmas mother. “No way！ ”said Lucas.“Come on and get out of the car now！ Time to go！ ”said Emmas dad. They all gotout of the car and were heading to the hotels reception2

“Hi， I had booked this hotel today，”said Emmas dad. “Yes， sir. Your roomnumber is 283. Here is your card to open it. If you want the house keeper to comeand move something， there will be a book in the room with all the numbers for thehouse keeping， the reception and the restaurant，”said the lady in the reception.“Surely！ ” said Emmas mom. They all went into their room. It was lookingbeautiful.“Wow！ I love this！ ”said Emma happily.“Lets first quickly unpack3our bags and then go to the pool！ ”said Emmas mom.

從前，有一个叫艾玛的女孩。她和父母以及弟弟卢卡斯住在一起。他们要去果阿进行一次自驾游。他们都非常兴奋！他们上了车，踏上了愉快的旅途。

“爸爸，要多久才能到达那里？”艾玛问。“大约8 到9 个小时。”艾玛的爸爸说。

“哦，太久了！”卢卡斯惊讶地说。他们在去果阿的路上听音乐，停下来吃了点东西，还拍了很多照片。

九个小时后，他们到达了果阿。“听着！我有重大消息要告诉你们！”艾玛的妈妈兴奋地说。“什么？什么？请告诉我！”艾玛问。“我们到了！我们已经到酒店了！”艾玛妈妈说。“不可能！”卢卡斯说。“来，下车吧！该走了！”艾玛的爸爸说。他们都下了车，前往酒店的接待处。

“你好，我今天已经预订了这家酒店的房间。”艾玛的爸爸说。

“是的，先生。您的房间号码是283。这是您的房卡。如果您想让管家来搬东西，房间有一本册子，上面写着内务管理、前台和餐厅的所有号码。”前台的女士说。“好的！”艾玛的妈妈说。他们到了自己的房间，房间看起来很漂亮。“哇！我喜欢这里！”艾玛高兴地说。“我们赶紧打开行李，然后去游泳池吧！”艾玛的妈妈说。

It was very hot outside. They all were very happy that they finally reached theirhotel and now were relaxing！ The next day they woke up， brushed their teeth， took abath and wore new clothes. They were heading to eat breakfast. “Can we get somepasta4， egg and bread and some pancakes5， please？”said Emmas father sweetly6 tothe waiter. “Sure， sir！ ”said the waiter. After 5 minutes the food arrived. They allwere hungry7 and started eating. Once they finished their food they were going backto their hotel. After some time， all of them decided to go to the beach the next day.

“It is so sunny outside！ This is the best time to go to the beach，”saidEmma. All of them agreed8 with it. The next day， they were going to a beachwhich has a seafood9 restaurant. The beach was very nice and not crowded10 at all！“Oh！ Look， there is a boat there！ ”said Emma. “It is very small because it is faraway，”said Lucas. They all went into the seafood restaurant. It was beautifullooking！“Wow！ Look at all this delicious food！ ”Emmas dad said，looking at thefood. They all finished their food quickly because it was very late， and the restaurantis going to close.

The following day was the last day to stay in Goa. They did a lot of things.They went to the pool and the water park next to the pool. They played giant11chess in the park. They spent their time playing games， taking photos and a lotmore！ They had to go home now.

外面很热，他们都很高兴终于到达了酒店，现在正在休闲放松。第二天，他们醒来后刷牙，洗澡，然后穿上了新衣服。他们正准备去吃早餐。“我们能吃点意大利面、鸡蛋、面包和煎饼吗？”艾玛的爸爸温柔地对服务员说。“当然可以，先生！”服务员说。5 分钟后，食物到了。他们都饿了，开始吃东西。他们一吃完饭就要回酒店了。过了一阵子，他们所有人都决定第二天去海滩。

“外面阳光明媚！这是去海滩的最佳时间。”艾玛说。他们都赞同她的话。

第二天，他们打算去一处海滩，那里有一家海鲜餐厅。那处海滩很不错，一点也不拥挤！“哎呀！看，那里有一艘船！”艾玛说。卢卡斯说：“它很小，因为它很远。”

他们走进了那家海鲜餐厅，它看起来很漂亮！艾玛的爸爸看着食物说“： 哇！

看看这些美味的食物！”他们很快吃完了饭，因为已经很晚了，餐厅要关门了。

接下来的一天是在果阿的最后一天。他们做了很多事情。他们去了游泳池和游泳池旁边的水上公园。他们玩了公园里的巨型象棋。他们还玩游戏，拍照等等！现在他们必须回家了。
