Helen    : Tim, have you got a minute?
Tim        : Well, it's not like I've got a ton of things to do, is it?
Helen    : No, no, it's not. Tim, I want to apologise for the way I spoke to you the other day.
Tim        : Oh yeah?
Helen    : Yeah. I was well out of order. I've been having a hard time lately but that's no excuse. I'm sorry.
Tim        : Thanks Helen. Well I suppose I should say sorry too. I'm unemployed but it's not the end of the world. And I put you in a difficult position, asking for a discount.
Helen    : That's OK. Would a slap-up meal make us friends again?
Tim        : Oh, go on then!

                                                                                       Boston

Dear Dan,

How are you?

We had a really unusual start to out summer vacation this year. My family and I were driving to Florida. It was comfortable and we were happy. Suddenly, we heard a bang. The car stopped and Dad couldn’t start It again.

It was night and we could see a light in a house. We walked to the house and asked the man there for help. The man said, “I will fix your car tomorrow. I can take you to a hotel tonight. Follow me.”

On the way to the hotel, I was disappointed because the town seemed small and unexciting. But in the town center, we saw some fireworks and heard some music. There was a festival and a fair! After we left our luggage at the hotel, we went and joined the festival. We had a fantastic evening and it was a great start to our vacation!

Write soon to tell me about your vacation.

From,

Jack

Dear Jim,

How are things in Wicklow? I have not seen you for ages so I decided to write and give you all the news from Glentown.

The football team is doing really well this season. We have reached the semi-final of the cup. The new goalkeeper we got after left is great. He has not let in a goal in the last three matches.

My sister, Sandra, has just had a baby girl, so I am an uncle. Maybe I will be able to make some money from baby-sitting and then I can come down on the train to visit you.

Write soon and let me know all the news.

Your friend,

Martin

Dear Samantha,

I just returned from Puerto Rico, where I was visiting my uncle for the holidays. It was difficult getting there. First, my mom overslept and we almost missed our flight. Then, the airplane was a nightmare. It made me remember the first time I was on a plane. I was six-year-old at the time, and I clutched my mother’s hands for dear life! This time, the problem was that a huge storm was approaching.

Right after we took off, the plane started bouncing. At one point, I made a loud noise, and a passenger stared at me with an angry look. I felt sort of silly, but what was her problem? I mean, hadn’t she ever seen anyone startled before? Actually, I think she was just as afraid as I was.

Although it seemed like forever, we finally did touch down in Puerto Rico. We had a wonderful time there. How was you holiday? Write me back and let me know!

Your friend,
Miguel

Sport and Healthy Lifestyles Week

Last week our school had a Sport and Healthy Lifestyles Week. The best day for me was Monday, because on Monday we had three activities—yoga, softball and cricket.

We first had yoga with Mrs Rowe and Mrs Godleman. We did all kinds of stretches and exercises. We also did the “salute to the sun”. Mrs Godleman told us that in India they do the “salute to the sun” at dawn when the sun comes up. The children also do it at school in the morning. I liked yoga. It was very relaxing but it wasn’t my favourite thing of the day.

After recess, we had softball with two instructors called Craig and Andrew. Before we started, the instructors explained the basic rules. Our team got the field first while the other tam got to bat. I almost got a catch, but josh pushed me out of the way and then he didn’t even catch it himself! Then it came time for our team to bat. My first hit wasn’t a vary good hit and I got out. But my next two hits were really good (for me, anyway) and I go two home runs! I was extremely happy. I liked softball. It was my favourite activity of the day.

After lunch, we had cricket with an instructor called David. We were split into two groups. One group got to bowl at wickets while the other group got to hit balls at little cones. I got to bat. I didn’t like cricket as much as the other activities. I though it was just a little bit boring, but the boys though it was great.

On the other days we did tennis, taekwondo, athletics, tai chi, bocce, rugby league, gymnastics, aerobics and hockey. We really learned a lot about many different kinds of sport and we got pretty fit as well. Because I enjoyed softball so much, I have decided to do softball as my sport next year.
