Dear Nan,
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. After a while the cloud
disappeared. And it became a sunny day. We then decided to go to the Movie World.
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, Mum and Kelly queued for the
Batman ride.
About one o’clock we got a light shower of rain but it cleared up soon after. We then
went on all the other rides.
It was a top day. See you when you get back.
Love,
Sam

Dear Paula,
Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you. Well, I just
wanted to tell you that I was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor; I was infected
by dengue fever.
At first, I felt my body became weak then I fainted when I was studying in the
classroom. Then, I was taken to the hospital because of the high fever.
At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave
some treatment. Finally, I had to stay there for one week. Everyday the doctor kept me on a
drip.
At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final check, the doctor
gave me permission to go home. Now, I’m okay and because of my illness, I am now more
careful about keeping in my house clean especially my room, I don’t want to get the same
illness again.
OK, I think that’s all from me, write to me soon ok?
Regards

Nadira

Dear Indah
Indah, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment last
month and we’ve been really busy getting settled.
It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms
to work in. It has a big living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is
the kitchen.
The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping
centre just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.
 We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the
town. I’ll wait.
Love
Shelly
