Dear Jill,
How are you doing these days? I know you want to visit
Stanley. My family is planning to go there next Saturday after a
picnic at the nearby beach. So, would you like to join us?
We are going to have a barbecue at the beach. Mum will
prepare steaks, meat chops, chicken wings, mushrooms,
potatoes, and fishballs. Dad will get us cold drinks and ice
cream there. After lunch, we are going to play volleyball. I am
going to take my sand buckets with me to build sandcastles,
my favourite hobby, just like you. After that, we are going to
visit the Stanley Market, which is famous for having started
300 years ago. Finally, we are going to have dinner at an
exceptional restaurant, not like any other one, in the Murray
House.
I will so happy if you can join us right from the beginning to
have a lot of fun together. Don’t worry; we will pick you up and
drive you back home.
Yours,
Kelly
