Dear Alice,
How are you? I'm writing to tell you about a nice day I had last Saturday.
I went to a rock concert with my sister. We saw our favourite singer. He was great! He sang
for two hours. There were a lot of children there. All of us sang and danced to the music. The concert
finished at nine o'clock. Afterwards, our parents came to pick us up and we all went to a restaurant near
our house. The food was delicious. I had fish and salad. There were a lot of desserts like chocolate
cake and ice-cream, but I didn't have any because I'm trying to lose weight. My sister wasn't very hungry,
so she just had some salad.
There was live music at the restaurant, too. Two men were playing old Greek songs on their
guitars and a woman was singing. My parents danced a lot. They looked very happy. We returned home
at midnight. I really enjoyed myself.
There's another concert next month so if you come and stay with me, we can go together.
Take care of yourself.
Love,
Tracy
