Using description in the introduction to hook the reader in
One of the famous malls was crowded with lots of people. I thought I would go to a empty shop. There was no empty shop, every shop I saw looked like a bomb site, just like my room I thought.

Rainbows End
What was that tall electric tube? Wow that is a really big queue. Then I questioned myself will I go on that extremely giant ride? Hmmm, Avish! My brother called me we decided to do to the Go Cart. Boy was that queue long. When it was finally me and my brothers turn we were like pure enemies rushing to get our tanks.
Sylvia Park
My Trip to Sylvia Park
Arriving at Sylvia Park, I felt the refreshing air touch my face, in my sight I see the public of Auckland. As I look across my shoulder I smelt every restaurant's unique aroma traveling to my tastebuds which was making my mouth water.

As I walked a stench went up my nose . I looked around and hot bubbles were bubbling at my face. Me and my dad said "it smells like farts ". The public were roaming around blocking their noses. I could see and smell the hot boiling mud from 12 metres away.

Rainbow's End
The orange seat kept on spinning up and down and around. Beside me, I saw the fearfall. It shot up as quick as a flash. I got so dizzy and then I went in to the line for the gold rush. It was a long line but I decided to stay any way.
