Dear Mum and Dad

I’m having a great time here in Brighton. Yesterday we (1) (go) to Devil’s
Dyke. We (2) (take) a minibus and David (3) (drive).
There is lots of beautiful countryside there and we (4) (walk) to the top
of a hill where we (5) (have) a picnic. There were people with kites there,
but I (6) (not / fly) one because we (7) (not / have)
enough time. Pierre wasn’t very happy because Adam (8) (lose) his camera, but
later he (9) (say) it was a joke. Pierre (10)
1(not / find) it funny.
Lots of love

Teresa
