Today is a special day. I am going on my first train journey. My mother takes me to the train station. The station is big and busy. I see many people walking fast. We go to the ticket office. My mother buys two tickets. The tickets are blue and white. We look at the big board. It shows all the trains and times. Our train leaves from platform three. We walk to the platform. The train is already there. It is very long and red. We get on the train. I find a seat by the window. The seat is comfortable. A man in a uniform checks our tickets. He smiles and says, 'Have a nice trip!' The train starts to move slowly. I wave goodbye to the station. We pass houses and trees. I see green fields and cows. The train goes faster now. My mother gives me a sandwich. I eat the sandwich and drink some water. We stop at a small station. Some people get off and some get on. The train continues its journey. After one hour, we arrive at our station. We get off the train carefully. My grandmother is waiting for us. She gives me a big hug. I tell her about my train journey. She smiles and says, 'Welcome! I am so happy you are here.'
