THANK YOU NOTE

Dear Laura,


Thank you very much for sending me the bracelet for our meeting. I love it!
You remembered my favourite color!


I had a good day. My parents and I visited Andorra to buy. I saw snow
up in the mountains! It's strange to see snow where I live, but for you
it is normal beacuse there it always snows in winter , inclusive in 
autumn! Well, I bought something for you . I can't tell you what is it,
but it has to do with music.

I hope to see you again in the summer to give you the present.

Love

 Alexadra

SUMMER HOLIDAYS





          Last summer I went to Romania and Andorra with my parents
          because I have family there and we visited them.
        
          Romania is fantastic! There are many trees and plants and many places
          to explore. What I liked most was when we went to Târgu Mures, where
          we stayed to sleep in a hotel. We visited the zoo and sone really big pools.
          It was very  exotic.In Andorra we also stayed one night in a hotel. We
          went to Caldea. A good experience !

          I really liked this summer holidays because I stayed in places I've
          never been.

My first day at school

I stared school when I was two years old.
I remember the first morning.
It was sad because I wanted to be with my mother.


My teacher's name was MªAngels.She was a woman
with small eyes and short, straight black hair.


In the classroom ,there was a closet with toys. My first friend was
Julia. She was longer than me, with

short,straight brown hair.We always danced !
