My Trip to The Domincan Republic


My sister and I decided to take a trip to the Dominican Republic. We were amazed and captured by the spectacular beaches. After seeing the beautiful beaches, I just wanted to pull a chair and relax under a coconut palm tree. Since the warm water was so clear and blue that I could see the colorful fish swimming in the ocean. The sand was super fine and white. The weather was hot and sunny with a steady cool breeze.


When we got to the hotel, we were offered a variety of activities to do and we choose snorkeling. Exploring the underwater world was incredible because of the vivid multicolored fish, sting rays and other marine life. Since I stayed at an all-inclusive hotel I had the opportunity to get lessons on snorkeling. Snorkeling is definitely an activity that must be experienced because it is a unique feeling.


Later I tried windsurfing, and my sister tried kite boarding. There were many indoor activities such as dancing, shopping and gambling. I had the time of my life because I always had something to do, but my only challenge was to have enough time to get to do all the exciting activities.The food was fabulous, with a huge selection of seafood, meats, rice and vegetables. If you love seafood, you should definitely visit the Dominican Republic because it is the perfect place to have the best shrimp, and fish that is fresh and tastes incredible. The nightlife was vibrant and very entertaining. Since I love to dance, the music beats that filled the air made me go out and enjoy the music. After having a great time dancing, the next activity I decided to do was to try my luck at the casinos.


As the end of my trip approached I visited a museum called ‘Museo Del Hombre Dominicano” this museum had pre-Columbian artifacts such jewelry, religious pieces and sculptures. Over all this vacation was unforgettable and amazing. This trip was so exciting and incredible that I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys terrific food, exhilarating outdoor activities, and entertaining nightlife.




Grammar Point: Let’s use simple, compound, complex and complex-compound sentences!

Simple Sentences contain a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought.
Ex: My sister and I decided to take a trip to the Dominican Republic.
Compound Sentences contain two independent clauses that are joined by for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
Ex: Later I tried windsurfing, and my sister tried kite boarding.

Complex Sentences has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since, after, although, or when, that, who, or which.
Ex: After seeing the beautiful beaches, I just wanted to pull a chair and relax under a coconut palm tree.

Complex-Compound Sentence is formed by having at least one dependent clause before or after two independent clauses.
Ex: When we got to the hotel, we were offered a variety of activities to do and we choose snorkeling.
