Anonymous ay out? or friends spend? I money to have li boud havede Last summer, I had an amazing adventure. I went on a wild holiday with two friends to my dream destination - Alaska. 1 - We drove there because it was 25 kilometres from the nearest town! There were only two rooms in the cabin - a bedroom and another room that we used as a living room and kitchen. There wasn't any electricity, but it had a little gas cooker and some oil lamps. 2- - There was a shower and a toilet - outside! Living like that was hard, but it was the most exciting adventure of my life. The area was very beautiful. There were mountains and akes a few kilometres away. Winter in Alaska is the most beautiful season, but it's also very difficult. We went in the summer because it was easier. We had warm, sunny weather for most of our stay. 3 First, we went to get water from a nearby river. After that we did household jobs and then we went out to explore the area. In the evenings we made dinner, read books or played games. We always went to bed really early. Luckily, there was a mobile phone signal in case of emergencies. We nearly used it one day. 4 _ But my friend found the problem and repaired it. That was our only emergency, but something quite frightening happened one night. We were in the cabin one evening when we heard a noise. We thought an animal was outside the cabin. 5 In the morning, we found animal tracks on the ground, and marks on the door! It was probably a bear! After that, everyone felt a bit more nervous, and nobody went to the toilet in the middle of the night! Five sentences have been removed from the article.
