Edited version

Five years ago, l went to Jinjiang Park with my friends. At that time my father had a job there, so we could play for free. We were all bold girls who could go on all the rides. My favourite thing was the roller coaster, it was really fun. Jinjiang Park had the biggest Ferris wheel in Shanghai.

But although l am bold, l am afraid of haunted houses. It was my nightmare when l was a kid.
