Go Carter chan, Go Carter chan!

 At four pm on Friday, we went to the motel from my house. We needed to tell the builders where the lights needed to be placed. I went into our motel room and quickly got ready because my dance competition was at six pm. 

After I got ready, my mum and I went to pick up my dad from the train station. When we reached the train station, I saw my dad coming out from the train and coming towards us. I felt happy because my dad was also coming to the competition. 

After that, we went to Auckland Boy's Grammar and that's the place where I was going to have my competition. When we reached Auckland Boy's Grammar, I was amazed because it was so big and all the building were white.

 After we went inside the school hall, a man told us that we needed to pay an entrance fee to go in the hall. My dad didn't have any money so he went to look for a dairy to get some cash out. It took him very long to get to the dairy because he walked instead of taking the car because he didn't want anyone to take our parking.

Within three hours hours, my dad came back with some money and I went down to the boy's dressing room, to wait until our dance starts.

While we were waiting, I played truth or dare with my dance group. It was fun because the game on the I pad called out our names and gives us a choice between truth or dare. I kept on getting dares.

Soon after, my dance teacher came and said that we need to get ready to go on the stage. When we went on stage, everyone clapped and called out our group's name which was called Carter chan .

During the dance, I was a bit nervous but I was having fun at the same time. In the last set of the dance, everyone was shouting and screaming so loud that we couldn't hear the music.

After the dance, the judge came and told us the results. She said that we came second and I went on stage to represent my dance group when they made the announcement. After that, we went home and it was nine o'clock. I had a very long sleep.

I enjoyed the competition and I hope that we can do much better in the next competition.

I know I can do this when I use appropriate time words and past tense in my recount.
