Visit to Disneyland – 1 Understand how texts are made cohesive through the use of linking devices including pronoun reference and text connectives (ACELA1491) © Australian Curriculum: Assessment and Reporting Authority 2012 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Last year I went to Disneyland with Mum, Dad and my little sister. We all had the best time. Even Mum, who said she really didn’t want to go, enjoyed it. There were heaps of things to do there and the rides were awesome. Our hotel was close to the park, so we walked to the entrance. As a result, we were some of the first people there. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Soon there were people everywhere and such a lot of things happening. There were parades with bands playing and Disney characters standing everywhere. Dad looked at the map. There was so much on it. It was amazing. He said we had to get started or we wouldn’t see half of it. Before we knew what was happening he was racing off to Frontierland and we were following. As soon as he saw Big Thunder Mountain he stopped. Then he rushed and stood in the line. We all stood there with him. Although she lined up with us, Mum said later she had no idea what she was going to be doing. Dad, however, knew all about it. One of his friends had told him. Before long we were sitting in a train and moving slowly away from the platform and climbing. Then, we picked up speed. It was exciting and scary. We raced around sharp bends as we came down the mountain. Poor Mum was in shock as she held on and screamed at every sharp turn. Eventually the train stopped and we got off. I looked at Mum wondering what she was going to say. ‘What’s next?’ she asked. ‘I would never have gone on that ride if I had known what it was like. But now I’ve done it and survived, I’m ready for the next one.’ ‘Who is this lady and what’s happened to my mum?’ I muttered. With Mum leading the way, we went from attraction to attraction. Some, like Splash Mountain, were really scary and my little sister wasn’t tall enough to go on them. Others, like the paddle-steamer were very gentle. Her favourite was ‘It’s a Small World’, where the same music was repeated over and over. Dad looked very pleased when it finished and he wouldn’t let her do it again. Finally, and very reluctantly, we left. It was dark and we were all exhausted. But what a terrific day we’d had! Every thing was so well organised. The staff, they’re called ‘the cast’, were very friendly and helpful. There were loads of places to eat or to just rest between the wonderful rides. Since we’ve been home, we’ve been trying to persuade Mum and Dad to take us back. However, now we know one day just wouldn’t be long enough. R.I.C.
