Dear Uncle Booky,
I went to Africa last year and I lived in Egypt. You were on vacation in Italy. So we weren’t in the stories. The kids in Qingdao missed us so much.
Ken and An
n grow up quickly. They move to a new neighborhood called Redrock Bay. They make some new friends. They join the Bingo Kids Club. And they do sports at Redrock Bay Health Club every Tuesday and Thursday.
Children everywhere have to do chores. The kids in my neighborhood help wash the dishes and clean the rooms. But they don’t do any chores on the weekends. They go to the children’s club and have fun there.
I have an e-mail friend called John. John likes surfing the net. He has a lot of e-mail friends all over the world. He has a problem, too. He spent too much time on computer and did badly on his test. He should work hard.
John’ sister Jane is tall and thin. Sweatpants are her favorite style. She has five pairs. One of them is from me.
I had a good time here in Africa. I learned a lot about Egyptian history. I will stay in Egypt for another two years. Where are you going in 2008? To Beijing? It’ll be great and fun there because of the Olympic Games.
I miss you. Hope to see you again soon!
Yours,Mocky
