He asked us to enjoy staying in the hotel and playing on the beach while he was having his business meeting. We stayed in a hotel near a beach. When we arrived in the hotel, my father talked to the receptionist to get a room. The clerk at the receptionist desk gave my father the key of my room and porter carried our bag along the corridor to our room. We got a big room on the third floor. The room over looked the sea. From our room we could see waves breaking over the rocks. The beach was not crowded at that time. We saw children digging in the sand looking for the sea-shells. Some boys were kicking a ball. Some groups of people were sitting in the desk chairs, lying on the sand under brightly colored umbrella. We didn't waste much time in our room. We went to the beach to swim to play ball, to dig in sand to look for sea-shell, and to lie under the sun. We really enjoyed the activity.
