Let’s Write:

Once the members of my family and I went to a nearby riverside. We wanted to see the woods and walked into the thick forest. Then as we were enjoying the beautiful trees and chirping birds, we realized that we had wandered too far from the main path. Suddenly, we couldn’t find our way back. Everyone became nervous, especially my younger siblings. I calmed them down and suggested we retrace our steps. However, it was getting darker, and we needed to act quickly. Using my phone, I opened the map and checked for the nearest way out. Fortunately, we found a small trail leading to the main road. We followed it carefully, calling out to ensure no one got left behind. After walking for about half an hour, we spotted the riverside picnic area again. We were so relieved and promised never to wander off without proper planning again! It was a lesson learned for all of us.
