Take care!

Hi Amy,
We're sitting in a little coffee shop by the River Seine. We're going to the top of the Eiffel Tower this afternoon!
All the best,

I saw the Golden Gate Bridge today. It is a famous bridge in San Francisco. Many people come and visit here every year.
See you soon,
Jane

Around the World in a Day!
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm doing fine here. Yesterday Kitty's teacher Mr Wu invited me to join their school trip to the World Park. I enjoyed myself!
It was a fine warm day. The sun was shining in a clear blue sky. The World Park is quite far away. It took us about two hours to get there by bus. There was a lot of traffic on the way and the journey was a little boring.
We finally arrived at the park. All of us couldn't wait to get off the bus. Soon the whole world was there in front of us! There are models of more than a hundred places of interest from all over the world. They are small but wonderful.
We became very excited when we saw the model Eiffel Tower. It is made of steel and is really tall. The model Golden Gate Bridge looked as great as the real one back home. I couldn't believe my eyes.
It was an amazing day because we saw the main sights of the world in just one day. The song and dance shows were also wonderful. We learnt a lot about different cultures.
You can see photos of the trip on the Internet. Kitty's classmate Daniel put them on his home page. Go and see for yourselves!
Love,
Linda

Kitty: That sounds good, but it’s too far away.
