Hi, Stacey

How are things with you? I'm sorry haven't written to you before – I have been so busy.

Actually, I have tried to phone you, but you're never home. Anyway, I have found a job for the summer at last! I'm going to work in Gap. I haven't worked in a clothes shop before, so it should be fun. I hear you have started work, too – strange to think of you as a waitress! You haven't done it before, have you? So we've both got new experiences for this summer.

Oh, I have bought a new car! Well, not exactly new – it's my brother's old one. It goes OK. Well, it hasn't broken down yet!

See you soon,

Love, Kyle.

Eight years ago when I was a child, with my parents I went to see the largest and interesting zoo in the world. I could see lions, bears, tigers, snakes and many other dangerous animals. I enjoyed it very much, so at the end of the tour we went to eat something, as we were going to set us up for lunch we heard shouting behind us, when we turned we saw a huge tiger that had escaped both we very calmly. We went inside a farther store and were able to escape. My parents were very scared so we are no longer returned to the zoo but it was very interesting to see the characteristics of the animals that live on Earth.
