Exercise 5 – Sample Answer (Paragraph)
**A Day at the Park**  
One of my favorite activities is spending the day at the park with my family. We go there on weekends to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. The park has a beautiful garden with colorful flowers, and we like to walk around and take pictures. Sometimes, we bring a picnic and sit under a big tree, eating snacks and playing games. There’s a playground for kids, and I enjoy running around with my younger sister. It’s always a fun and relaxing day, and I look forward to it every week. After the park, we usually go for ice cream, which is the perfect ending to a fun day.
