Tommy and Jacky are twin brothers. They were going on a trip with the class the next day, so they could not sleep well that night. The next morning they both woke up very early. They rushed to brash their teeth and wash their faces. Then they quickly put on their school clothes and had their breakfast.  After that they made sandwiches and took some apples and drinks for their lunch.

     At school they stood on the playground and their teacher, Keller, called their names. " Stand in line, everybody," shouted Keller in a very strict voice," Don't push when you get on the bus," she added. The driver was a young man, tall and friendly.  Tommy and Jacky got on the bus and took their seats at the back. When the bus set off, everybody began to make a noise, talking and singing happily with their classmates.

     Tommy sat next to the window, enjoying the beautiful view outside. At about ten thirty, the bus arrived at the beach and the students rushed to it. They ran here and there, they shouted, and they laughed---It was three thirty in the afternoon, the time for the students to go back home, but no one wanted to leave. They couldn't believe how fast the time had flown.
