My name’s Simon and I live in London. I’m doing lots of different things this weekend. First of all,
my cousin Jose is arriving from Brazil, so we’re taking him to some places in the city. On Saturday
we’re going to the funfair and then to a café. My friend Tom isn’t doing anything that day, so he’s
coming with us. I think Jose is going to love it! At the funfair, we’re going to ride on the Speed
Cars, and then go on the Big Dipper. It’s the fastest ride in the funfair and it’s awesome! My sister
Marie can’t come, though. She’s got a bad cold – and anyway, she’s too young for the rides. At the
café, I’m going to order a really big ice cream for Jose – four scoops! Then on Sunday we’re visiting
the museum. It’s Dad’s idea, and I don’t think Jose’s going to like it very much!
