Last night I had a wonderful dream. This is what I (dreamt). We (took) a trip to Hawaii. I (was) with my family and two of my friends. We (were) on a ship and we (were travelling) to Honolulu. On the ship there (was) a party. We (were sitting) on nice comfortable seats and we (were drinking) exotic juices. Lots of people (were dancing) and the music (was playing) loudly. We (had) a lot of fun! When the ship (arrived) in Honolulu a man (was waiting) to take us to our hotel. The hotel where we (were staying) was by a beach with palm trees.

...(were singing) and (dancing) to the music. The music (was getting) louder and louder until I (heard) a ringing sound. It (was) my alarm clock! It (was) 7 o'clock and time to get up for school.
