It happened when we went to Saku City in Nagano.
今年も佐久市に行ったが花火大会に行けなかった。
Kotoshi mo Saku-shi ni ittaga hanabi taikai ni ikenakatta.
Although we also went to Saku City this year, we couldn’t went to the fireworks display.
なぜかというと、お父さんの都合で行けなかったのである。
Naze ka to iu to, otousan no tsugou de ikenakatta no de aru.
We couldn’t go due to my father’s problem.
でも、去年は行けたのでそのときの様子を話す。

But we could go there last year, so I will talk about what happened at that time.

花火があがった。
Hanabi ga agatta.
Fireworks were set off.
それは、始まりの合図だった。
Sore wa, hajimari no aizu datta.
It was the beginning signal.
僕と家族は、その合図を聞き、ペンションを出た。

Hearing that signal, I and my family left the pension.
僕と弟は走って花火大会の会場に行った。

I and my younger brother ran to the venue of the fireworks display.
お母さんとお父さんは歩いてきた。

My father and my mother walked there.
会場についてみると、人がいっぱいいて座る場所がなかった。

Looking at the venue, there were lots of people and no place to sit.
座る場所を探していると一人のおばさんが「この席、空いているわよ」といってくれた。
Suwaru basho wo sagashite iruto hitori no obasan ga “kono seki, aiteiru wa yo” to itte kureta.
When we were looking for a place to sit, an old lady said to me: “This seat is empty!”
僕たちは「ありがとうございます」と言って、その席に座った。
Bokutachi wa “arigatou gozaimasu” to itte, sono seki ni suwatta.
We said “Thank you” and sat on that seat.
そして、花火大会が始まった。

Then the fireworks display began.
最後の花火だけまるで目にも入らない様に大きい花火が飛び上がった。
Saigo no hanabi dake marude me ni mo hairanai you ni ooki hanabi ga tobiagatta.
Only the last firework flying up was big as if it couldn’t be seen at all.
「バチバチッ」
“Bachi bachi”
“Crackle crackle”
Ending
旅行の時は普段とは違う生活をするので感受性も敏感になる。
Ryokou no toki wa fudan to wa chigau seikatsu wo surunode kanjusei mo binkan ni naru.
When travelling, you will live a different life than usual, so the sensitivity will also become sensitive.
また、普段とはちがう人間の一面が出てくる。

In addition, a different side of people will appear.
新しい旅行をして自分を磨いていきたい。
Atarashii ryokou wo shite jibun wo migaite ikitai.
I want to go on a new trip and improve myself.
Note when writing a paragraph about travelling
Before writing, you should pay attention to proclivity for the content of the paragraph. With this topic, there may be the following proclivities:
– The first proclivity: Focus on describing the scenes and the features in places you have been to.
– The second proclivity: Talk about one or more memorable events that occurred during the trip.
– The third proclivity: Combine both the proclivities above.
Choosing the proclivity will help you unify the content of the three parts of the paragraph. You can refer to the following outline:
Opening: Give an overview of the trip and the place you have been to. Introduce things and events happened in that place based on the proclivity you chose.
Body: Develop the content based on the proclivity you chose.
Ending: Conclusion. Express your feelings about the trip and talk about your future plans.
Above is: Write a paragraph about travelling. Hope this post can help you improve your writing skills. Wish you all good study!
