Dear Diary,
Today our class hiked to the lookout above the river. At first, the track felt steep and my legs were already sore. However, when we reached the top, the view made the climb worthwhile. We could see the forest, the river bends, and even the roofs of the nearby township. Mr Patel told us to sit quietly for a minute and notice the sounds around us. I could hear birds calling and the wind moving through the trees. It was one of the best parts of camp so far.

Which sentence would best fit at the end of the diary entry?

The next morning, we packed our maths books for class. After lunch, the school library closed early because it was raining. I realised that the hardest parts of camp can sometimes become the most memorable. The river was too deep for anyone to cross safely.
