Hello Ted, a
Thanks for your email. I’m glad to hear that you
finished with your exams. Let me tell you what
happened to me and my mates last week.
On Friday, we went to the park to play football.
There were five of us, so Steve played in goal and
the rest of us were just trying to score against him.
Five girls walked over from the other side of the
park and asked us for a game. At first we said no,
of course, but when they called us ‘chickens’, we c
decided to show them who’s best. You won’t
believe it! They were brilliant. We just couldn’t get
the ball off them. We lost 10-2. Everyone at school
knows. 10-2! I’m so embarrassed.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Say hello to everyone.
Yours,
Ralph
