ESOL students Benjamin and Jihoo from room 10 and 15 created descriptive texts about rafting on the Kaituna River

When I sit on the raft, I can hear people shouting, "Arrghh!" People shout, because they are terrified. I can hear a bird singing, because it is on the tree.

I can see emerald green water, because I sit down on the boat. I can see water bubbling around the rocks. There are three colourful parrots on the tree.

I feel happy rafting down the river. I am scared of falling out of the raft. I am terrified of falling down the waterfall.

I can hear people laughing, when they are so excited. When we sit on the raft, we can hear people shouting, when they are so scared. When we are on the Kaituna River, we can hear birds singing.

When we are on the Kaituna River, we can see water bubbling. We can see parrots. The water of the Kaituna River is emerald green. When we raft on the Kaituna River, we can see a lot of trees.

Before we go to the 7 meter waterfall, we can feel worried. When we raft on the Kaituna River, we can feel excited. When we fall off the 7 meter waterfall, we can feel thrilled.
