Band 7 Answer

One activity I planned with a group of friends was a weekend camping trip. We decided to go to a nearby forest and stay there for two nights. We planned everything together — like the food, tents, and activities. It was fun working as a team. During the trip, we cooked together, played games, and went hiking. I really enjoyed the experience because we spent time in nature and worked as a group. It was not easy to organize, but in the end, everything went well, and we made great memories.

Band 8 Answer

An activity I planned with a group of people was a weekend camping trip to a national park just outside the city. The idea came up during one of our group chats, and we all agreed it would be a great way to relax and reconnect with nature. I took the lead in organizing it, but everyone had a role — some handled food preparation, others brought the equipment, and one friend arranged transportation. Planning everything together helped us bond before the trip even began. We spent two days hiking, cooking around a campfire, and enjoying each other’s company away from our daily routines. It was not only a refreshing break but also a great lesson in teamwork and communication.
