Dear Clare,
Thank you for your last letter
I liked my last New Year's Eve and New Year day and Christmas because I spent it at home with my family and friends.
On Thursday we had been playing games, singing a song and dancing for two hours.
At 4 a.m. we made up our mind to have a rest and go sleeping
All the evening we were very busy but happy.
The next day we wanted to go somewhere in pinewood, so at 11 a.m we were ready for a new adventure
On Christmas Day I was so pleased and happy, so that I am looking forward to meet you and tell everything
Love,
(Свое имя)
