     When I was a kid, I was fond of flying kites with my friends. We flew kites at the field near my house. I collected many kites with different shapes and sizes. I was very skillful at flying kites, so they could flew high.

     One day, my friends and I had a competition. The one who could fly the highest kite would be the winner. To make my kite more interesting and different from others', I made my own kite. I drew my kite with beautiful and colourful pictures. I also made the tail as interesting as possible.

     During the competition, I tried hard to fly my kite. It flew higher and higher. Unfortunately, the wind blew strongly. I could not handle my kite. I kept on trying to handle my kite, but it was in vain. The string of my kite was broken and my kite flew down. I only stared at the kite sadly.

     Apart from my failure, I still kept my spirit. I was sure that my kite would always fly high.

Dear Nancy,

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. Then we decided to go to the Movie World.

The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next, I watch the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch because 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. Then we went on all the other sides.

It was a top day. See you when you get back.

Love,
Sam
