The Last Saturday

Last Saturday, Emily and her friends went to the amusement park. They arrived early in the morning because they wanted to enjoy the whole day there. Emily tried the big roller coaster, and it was very exciting, but also a little scary. Her friend, Jake, didn't like the roller coaster, so he waited for her near the food stalls. After the ride, they all ate hot dogs and drank lemonade. Later, they played games to win prizes, but only Emily won a small teddy bear. At the end of the day, they watched a firework show. They were very tired but happy. It was a fun day.
