Dear Nancy,

We are having a great holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to the Movie World. When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain, but then it became sunny.

The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, My Mom and Kelly queued for the Batman ride. It was a really fun day. See you when you get back.

Love,

Sam

Dear Aunt Tia

Aunty, I have some good news for you. Last month I passed my final examination. A week ago I succeeded to join in a senior high school English competition.

Last night my parents promised to send me to a famous English course in my town. They also promised me if my scores in English are good, they will send me to a foreign university. Great, isn't it? I'll work hard. I want to be a great pediatrician like you, Aunty.

Well, that's all for now. I am looking forward to having your news.
