Elementary ‐The Weekend ‐ Going to the Beach
(C0228)
A: Oh, George, what a beautiful day it is today! The sun is
hot and there are just a few clouds scattered here and there!
What a perfect day to be at the beach! The kids are going
to have so much fun! And we’ll be able to relax in the sun
while they’re playing.
B: It does seem like the perfect day! I’m glad we chose to
get out of the city and enjoy the nice weather! This looks
like the perfect spot! Ok kids, put on your sunscreen while
your mom and I set up camp. Here, Mary, help me lay
down these beach towels.
A: There we go. Can you help me with the umbrella?
Perfect.
B: Ok kids, here’sa beach ball and a Frisbee, a pail and a
shovel. I want to see an impressive sandcastle by the time
we leave. Don’t stray too far. Wait! Leave your sandals
here or put on your wet shoes.
A: And stay in the shallow area. I don’t want to see you go
any farther than that sandbar! It’s too deep out there and
we didn’t bring your floaties.
B: You’re back already? The water was too cold, huh? I’ll

tell you a secret. Do you see that small pool of water over
there? It’ll be warmer in there. Go see if you can find some
seashells or catch some minnows.
A: What is that? A jellyfish? Jeremy, put that down right
now! It could sting you!
B: Ah! Not onme! Ow!
