On the day of my thirteenth birthday, I was really excited since I was going to an amusement park for the first time in my life with some of my friends, together with my parents.

On reaching the park, we boughttickets and entered the park.The only fitting description of it was“amazing”.I was really spellbound.Everywhere people were moving excitedly from one ride to another and funny music drifted to our ears along with the screams of laughter from every direction.People dressed up like clowns were entertaining the kids, and the most exciting was the roller coaster.It looped (成環形運動)in and out of nowhere, ran up and down and spun around in a crazy manner.

My parents handed me some money and told us to enjoy the rides.We first queued up for the roller coaster, which was the greatest attraction of all.Soon we were seated on the ride and held on to the bars holding us firmly to our seats.The next ten minutes were full of screams and laughter.The wind moved through our hair and we tightly closed our eyes.It was a really thrilling experience!

We headed straight for the bumper cars and soon started bumping into each other with as much force as we could, enjoying ourselves thoroughly.Then we went for those shooting games in which you get a prize if you hit the target.We were soon loaded with some soft toys which made us happy, though the age for playing with soft toys was long gone for us.

Then came the most scary part, The Freaky House.We entered the house with heads held high, but came out of it with our hearts beating fast.And we were shaking from head to foot, with all those scary images in our heads.

During all this, we hadn't noticed time fly and it was getting dark, so we all returned home and said our goodbyes.I lay on my bed, with the images of all the fun I had that day replaying in my mind constantly.
