Hi Zoli

How are you? I’m very well – incredibly well, in fact! Yesterday was a good
day. I was helping my dad in the shop after school when Lucy, who is a girl from
my class, came into the shop. She’s got lots of confidence, and I always feel a bit
shy when she speaks to me. She usually gets the top marks in the exams, so the
teachers really respect her.
But in the shop she was really friendly and we chatted for a few minutes. Then
she asked for some washing powder, so I gave her a box. Then she asked for
toothpaste, so I gave her some. Then one by one she asked for ten more
household items. Finally she said, ‘Actually, I don’t really want to buy anything.
Can I put these back? And, er, do you want to come to the cinema with me
tonight?’ She spoke quite quickly, so I didn’t hear all the words. I asked her to
repeat them. She went a bit red and she wasn’t looking at me, but she repeated
her invitation. I was really happy and said, ‘Yes, please.’
We had a great evening!
Write to me soon,
Carl
