How are you? Thanks for your e-mail. I was sorry to hear that you've split (1) up with Derek. I hope he wasn't too upset! I know you're going to be jealous (2) of me, but I'm going (3) on holiday with a group of friends (4) in the summer! We're going go camping for two weeks. The summer holidays start (6) on 15th July and we'll arrive (7) at the camping site the next day. I can't wait! It's not too far (8) from my house — just a short train ride — but it's right by the sea, so we can go swimming every day. I'm really proud (9) of my parents for saying I'm old enough to go away without them! Anyway, I've got to go now. See you (10) in a couple of weeks!
