Dear Peter,
Did you have a good time last summer?I did. I took a trip to Seattle with my brotherHenry. It took us two and a half hours to drive to Seattle from my home. We stayed in a big hotel near the beautiful beach. On the first day, we just stayed in the hotel and watched TV. On the second day, we wen tto a supermarket and bought our favorite things. There were lots of people there. I bought a T-shirt and a sweater. They were both white because I looked very cool in white. Henry bought a green backpack, and he liked green best. On the third day, we went to a zoo and saw many cute animals. I liked the pandas and koalas best. And I took many photos of them.
What about your summer vacation? Was it fun? Please write to me and tell me about it.
Yours, Jack
