March, 7
Dear Mike,
Thanks for your letter. Sorry, I haven’t written to you for so long. Guess what? Last week our class
decided to go on an activity holiday! We travelled by bus for five hours and arrived at the activity
centre at night. We were all tired but very excited.
The next day the activities started very early. In the morning we walked for two hours along the river.
Luckily, the weather wasn’t bad there – it didn’t rain but there were some clouds in the sky. We
watched animals and birds, and then we returned to the centre by bike.
In the afternoon I rode a horse. My best friend Mary crossed the river in a canoe. We stayed at the
centre for five days and I loved every minute!
By the way, there is some information about the trip on our school website. Why don’t you look at it?
There is a photo of me and my friend Mary. I’m riding the horse and she is crossing the river in the
canoe!
It’s great that you like travelling. Please tell me about one of your holidays. Sorry, I must finish as
my mum is calling me. Please write soon.
Best wishes,
Ellen
