Ось я перевів цей текст
У цей літній відпочинок ми з моїм другом Ірвіном хотіли зробити щось інше. Замість того, щоб витрачати час на перегляд телевізора та грати в комп’ютерні ігри, як зазвичай, ми вирішили піти на похід. Отримавши дозвіл від батьків, ми почали планувати нашу поїздку. Ми склали список усіх продуктів і запасів, які нам знадобляться, і провели цілий день, шукаючи найкраще місце, щоб придбати наше обладнання для кемпінгу. Зрештою, наш намет, піч та спальні мішки коштували чималих грошей, але це того варте. Коли день нарешті настав, дядько Боб був добрий, щоб загнати нас у кемпінг після того, як він вийшов з роботи. Ми знали, що нам знадобиться пара годин, щоб дістатися туди, а Ірвін і я зростали все більше і більше збуджені, коли ми наблизилися до того, куди ми їхали. До моменту приїзду було темно, але нам було все одно. Ми радісно махали дядькові Бобу, коли він їхав геть. Потім, після трохи клопоту та багато сміху, ми з Ірвіном поставили намет і запалили кухонну плиту. Поки ми сиділи, маючи свою першу страву в спареному таборі спагетті - ми обоє погодились, що це була блюда, яку ми колись їли. Через короткий час, теплий і затишний у спальних мішках, ми швидко заснули і мріяли про те, що принесе наша велика пригода.
