1. I spent the last two weeks of the summer holiday with my cousins in Newcastle. While | was there, I took part in the Great North Run - a half marathon. I'm not a keen runner, but two of my cousins are. Twenty-one kilometres! The amazing thing is, l actually didn’t feel exhausted at the end. I couldn't understand it. OK, so my time wasn't very good. But I didn’t really care about that. I was just amazed I finished it!

2. I was in Cornwall for two weeks with my family. We stayed in a cottage near the sea. The weather was great - hot and sunny every day. In fact, I got burned quite badly on my shoulders. My brother really laughed at me, but I didn’t think it was amusing at all. In fact, I was quite anxious about it. After all, sunburn can cause serious problems with your skin when you're older.

3. At the beginning of the summer, I spent a week on the south coast of England with my dad. I went to visit my friend Macey, who moved there last year. She's got an amazing house! It’s got about seven bedrooms and a cinema room. And the garden is enormous. There's a swimming pool and a tennis court. I wish I lived in a place like that, I really do. She's so lucky!
