We went to the Sri Lanka – we went to Sri Lanka

He is local people – he was a local person

Sanctuary – a safe place

Ex. We visited an elephant sanctuary

The train is run through the … – the train ran through the…

Turtle – lives in water 
Tortoise – lives on land

At first we decide to … – at first we decided to …

We just finished our honeymoon last week. We rented a car and driver in Sri Lanka. Our drive’s name is Mohan. He was a local person, about 50 years old and have two children, a girl and a boy who are both collage students. He took us to a lot of places only local people know. We didn’t asked him to take us to these places. We just told him our tour plan but he arranged a wonderful tour for us. He is more like a guide than a driver. The most impressive thing is that he bought a ticket and enter the train station where we arrived at to ensure if we had seat. Because he asked a trainman to provide us seats and we had paid for it. He said if we had no seat, he would make the trainman give the money back. We are really moved about this things. He could just wait for us out of the station but he entered the station and waited for us. He is very reliable and told us a lot of stories and traditional things about Sri Lanka.
It is an amazing trip and We both miss him very much.
We just finished our honeymoon last week. We rented a car and a driver in Sri Lanka. Our driver’s name is Mohan. He was a local person, about 50 years old and has two children, a girl and a boy who are both college students. He took us to a lot of places only local people know. We didn’t asked him to take us to these places but he did anyway. We just told him our tour plan but he arranged a wonderful alternative tour for us. He was more like a guide than a driver. The most impressive thing is that he bought a ticket and entered the train station where we arrived at to ensure that we had a seat. Because he asked a conducter to provide us with seats because we had paid for it. He said if we had no seat, he would make the conducter give the money back. We are really moved by his behaviour. He could just wait for us outside the station but he entered the station and waited for us. He is very reliable and told us a lot of stories and traditional things about Sri Lanka.
It was an amazing trip and we both miss him very much.
