度假時光！放假的時候你都喜歡去哪裡呢？
I just went on a vacation with my family to Hawaii. It was wonderful! We stayed close to the beach, and the weather was perfect. Every day, we went swimming in the ocean. The water was so clear and blue. I loved playing in the waves and making sandcastles with my little brother. One day, we went on a boat tour to see dolphins. It was so exciting! The dolphins were jumping out of the water and swimming next to our boat. We also saw some sea turtles. They were large and very calm.
We also visited a volcano. It was really interesting to learn about how volcanoes work. We walked on old lavarocks and saw steam coming out of the ground. It felt like we were on another planet! In the evenings, we tried different Hawaiian foods. My favorite was the fresh pineapple. It was so sweet and juicy. We also watched traditional Hawaiian dances. The dancers wore beautiful costumes and moved gracefully. Overall, my vacation to Hawaii was unforgettable. I had so much fun and learned a lot.

Grammar Corner
I loved playing in the waves and making sandcastles with my little brother.
Love 是動詞，喜愛做的事 play 和 make 也是動詞，一個句子一個動詞，所以love 後面的動詞加 ing (變成動名詞) 或用 to (不定詞) 隔開。
也就是，上面的句子也可以寫成: I loved to play in the waves and to make sandcastles.
