　　Example:

　　I recently went to theme park with a few of my friends and you know, it had all the usual stuff you’d expect to find in a theme park, rollercoasters and things like that. Anyway we had been on most of the rides and we were just thinking about leaving when we saw one last ride in the corner of the park, which seemed to be some kind of eerie haunted house.

　　We decided to give it a try and to be honest, we didn’t expect it to be that scary, but actually it was really frightening in fact I’d say it was absolutely terrifying. We had to walk through the house room by room and there were waxwork models of really creepy things like vampires, zombies and things like that. The thing that made it so terrifying was because there were sounds being played through speakers in each room. The sounds were like screams and shrieks; they were more frightening than the models. There was music playing too, you know that chilling music you usually hear in a horror film. Add to this it was quite dark and it was, all in all, quite a horrifying experience. We really didn’t expect it to be that scary.

　　Afterwards, when we’d calmed down a bit we looked backed and laughed about it. That night I fully expected to have nightmares about it but luckily I didn’t. I think if I saw a similar ‘haunted house’ in another park I’d definitely give it a try, I think I’d be more prepared next time. I doubt I’d find it as scary as the time I just described.
