 * Dear friend, **

Hi? How are you? It has been a long time since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!

For example last week I spent all the weekend at the beach. I got a nice tan and I don’t look pale anymore. And I played lots of volleyball, surfing and swimming. After that, I built a nice collection of sea shells too. Isn’t it sound fun?

But on weekdays I had to study. My mom wanted me to practice English grammar. I read some books and took some pre-tests. It was difficult. I asked her if I could have ice cream after studying. Well…It worked. She gave me 2 scoops of ice cream!

I hope you had great summer too. I’m sad that our vacation is going to be over. But it’s good that I can meet you in the school.

Take care until then. Bye!


 * Your friend, **
 * Jamie **
