I came back from school yesterday afternoon. The first thing I saw was your letter. I was happy! I'm sorry to hear that you're sick. Take care of yourself. When - just think about it - In about two weeks, school will be over, and you will come to see us. let's have fun together! We'll talk for hours again, just like in the good old days. When you arrive, we plan to take you to Nalinak Beach. I know you'll like it. We'll go swimming, and then, maybe, we'll run back and forth on the beach. You told me that you had always wanted to spend a weekend at a seaside resort. Remember, you will need a strong body for swimming and running.
A few months ago, George and his friends were cycling in the hills when they heard a strange noise. George's friends didn't stop cycling, but George stopped and got off his bike. He looked around but he couldn't see anything. The noise stopped. Then George looked down and saw something white at his feet. It was an envelope. He picked it up and opened it. He couldn't believe his eyes. There was £10,000 inside! George took the money to the police. Will someone ask for it? George is still waiting to hear.
