    We are having a great holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to Movie World.
    INTRODUCTION THAT PROVIDES ORIENTATION

    PROPER NOUNS

    When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain. After a while the clouds disappeared and it became a sunny day. We then decided to go to Movie World. The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, Mum and Kelly queued for the Batman ride. About one oclock we got a light shower of rain but it cleared up soon after. We then went on all the other rides followed by the studio tour.
