Dear Nathan
How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here.
We are going to have the national examination, aren’t we? Are you well prepared for it?
Well, to be honest, I just have some difficulties in preparing for it, especially in Science.
There are extra lessons in my school and I take them all. But, I feel that they don’t help.
I’m still confused in solving Mathematic problems. I’m just worried that I fail the national
examination. Do you have any suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Your buddy

My dear lovely Sophie,

Hi!

I’m writing this from the cutest little café in NewYork! I feel like I’m on
Friends!
Mam’s been making sure we don’t miss one sight in the whole city. So we’ve
been walking practically all dry. So far we’ve seen Times Square, Broadway, Central
Park and The Plaza. I caught a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty but we’re going to go
and see it properly tomorrow!
The streets are super busy here and everyone looks amazing in their winter
coasts and hats. I had to buy mittens today! I miss being able to feel my fingers!
Hope you’re enjoying your holidays.
Miss you times a million, see you back in Adelaide on the 20th!

Love,

Xoxo

Ashley

PSI’m bringing you back a souvenir
