Yellowstone Is Beautiful
By Rosangela Xavier
I visited Yellowstone, and I really liked this place. Yellowstone was very beautiful and full of nature. I saw many trees, birds, and some bears in the park. The forest looked big and green. I heard the sound of water and animals everywhere. I smelled sulfur, pine trees, and wet earth. I tasted natural water and picnic food during the trip. People were hiking, watching the eruptions, and taking pictures of the scenery. I had a picnic, learned a lot about nature, and felt very happy there.
My Favorite Room
By Marybel Lopera
My favorite room in my house is the living room. There is a TV in the living room. I watch my favorite Colombian soccer matches. I also watch my horror movies and the news from Colombia. There are two pieces of furniture full with my favorite plants, my speaker, and my Buddhas. Also in my living room there is a large space to play with my dog. There is a large window where I can see the yard, my other plants grow, the grass and my pine that I planted when I arrived in the USA. My living room is the best for my times of rest and relaxation.
My Wonderful Trip to Brescia
By Polina Basiuk
A few years ago, I visited the city of Brescia in Italy. I really liked it because it was both historic and full of life. I saw a big old castle on a hill and two beautiful churches in the main square. I heard the sounds of people talking and laughing in cafés. I smelled fresh coffee and baked bread from the shops. I ate very delicious pizza and the best ice cream. I walked along old stone streets and took many photos. I saw people shopping, riding bicycles, and talking with friends. My trip to Brescia was very happy and interesting. I felt calm and joyful there. I have very good memories of that time.
A Beach In Oregon
By Gheorge Hagy Perez Garcia
I visited a beach in Oregon, and I liked it a lot. The beach was calm and very pretty. The sand was gray and soft. I saw big rocks near the water. I also saw seagulls flying in the sky. I heard the waves hitting the rocks. I heard the wind moving around me. The air smelled salty and fresh. The weather was cool and cloudy. I wore a jacket because it was cold. I walked along the beach with my family. I collected small rocks and shells. Other people walked and took pictures. I relaxed and looked at the ocean. I felt happy and peaceful when I visited this place.
My Favorite Place: King Mountain
My favorite place to visit is King Mountain in Oregon. I really like hiking. I have visited a lot of places in Oregon. My husband, my son, and I have hiked King Mountain four times. This is a very high place. The trail was very hard. When we were on top, a nice view opened up to us. We could see a river, many hills, and even the Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed the fresh air. The clothes were very beautiful. We saw a lot of different flowers. We took a lot of pictures. We found many mushrooms and then cooked them. We were happy.

A Beautiful Day at Universal Studios Hollywood
Universal Studios Hollywood is a fabulous and enchanting place I visited. When I was in California last year, we hung out with friends at the magical place. First, when I entered, I saw the colorful signs everywhere. The studios are huge. The trees are tall. There are magical movies. It was very crowded. There were many people laughing, children playing, and a very noisy sound of screaming from the roller coaster rides. I went a little bit further. I smelled buttery popcorn, grilled food, and warm pretzels. I was confused about where I should eat, but I started with strawberry and banana milkshakes. I rode a famous film ride like Harry Potter. I took the studio tour to see real movie sets and behind the scenes effects I watched live shows. I took a lot of pictures, and I bought many gifts and souvenirs. In the end, my husband and I were happy to spend a wonderful time with our friends.

Visiting The Grotto
When I arrived in Portland, I visited The Grotto. I wanted to know an iconic place in Portland to visit. That day, I felt excited when I saw its beautiful landscape. I walked around the place, I breathed its fresh air, and I was amazed by its strategic location. I remember that day, I called my wife to tell her how beautiful the place was. She told me that when she arrived, she wanted to go too. Then, I went inside to see the chapel. It is gorgeous. I was thinking about how beautiful Portland was. It was very sunny that day because it was summer. People wore light clothing. I was at The Grotto for almost two hours. I like to go to visit The Grotto because there I feel a lot of peace. In conclusion, I recommend you visit this beautiful paradise in the city.

Living in Portland
There are many good things in Portland. There is delicious food, a lot of park gardens, and very kind people. First, the food in Portland is very delicious with many different tastes from different cultures. For example, I love Mexican food, such as burritos, tacos, carne asada, and quesa birria. I also like Italian food because the use a lot of tomato sauce, many kinds of noodles, and a lot of cheese. Second, there are a lot of beautiful gardens around Portland, like Peninsula Park. Peninsula Park has a beautiful garden of flowers and a lot of trees. There also is Northgate Park. Northgate Park is a little different than Peninsula Park because Peninsula Park has many more red roses than the other, and Norgate Park has more yellow flowers than Peninsula Park, but both of them are very beautiful places to go and have a picnic with your family and play soccer or tennis or something else. Finally the people from Portland are very nice and helpful. They like to help people. It doesn’t matter where you are from, they will come to support your however it’s possible or ask you if you need something. Those things make Portland such a nice place.

Living in Portland
Portland is a good place to live. First, it is very hilly and has amazing forests. I like to run through the forests because they are fragrant in the morning. In addition, Portland has lots of great restaurants. For example, when I worked for Door Dash, I smelled the delicious food. Finally, the people are very kind. When I worked in landscaping, the people always said, “Thank you. You did a good job!” In conclusion, Portland is a good place, and I feel safe and loved.
