Dear Diary Today, I spent the day (at / on /
over) Ocean Park with my friends Gina, John and
Martin. We met (in / on / under) the park at 10
a.m. and we stayed till 8 p.m. First, we went on
the cable car. It was great being so high (above
/ on top of / under) the park and seeing all the
attractions far (behind / below / between) us.
Then, we went to see a dolphin show. I thought
the show was great! I was sitting (behind / in
front of / next to) a tall man with a big hat (at
/ on / over) his head, so I didnt have a very
good view. After that, we went to the Atoll Reef
and saw some keepers diving
13
down and feeding the fish (beside / in the middle
of / under) the water. In the afternoon, we went
on loads of rides. Martin complained when he sat
(between / next to / opposite) Gina because she
screamed the whole time. However, when we went on
the Crazy Galleon, we sat (in / opposite / over)
the boys and saw Martin screaming more than
anybody else! It was a great day out, but now Im
exhausted and going straight to bed!
