DO YOU LIKE TO PACK? WHY OR WHY NOT?

 Packing is an important part of preparing for a trip. Some people love packing because it helps them get ready and feel excited about traveling. Others do not enjoy it because they find it stressful or boring. When you pack, you need to decide what clothes, shoes, and personal items to take with you. It is important to check the weather at your destination and think about what activities you will do.

For example:

  • If you are going to the beach, you should pack a swimsuit, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

Packing can be fun if you plan ahead and make a list. It helps you avoid forgetting important things. Do you like to pack? Why or why not?
