A trip to Brighton
Today Emma is in Brighton, a very beautiful city by the sea. She’s really excited about this trip, but
it’s not a perfect day. Her best friend, Mia, isn’t with her because she is ill. She is at home in bed.
Emma is sending her WhatsApp messages telling her everything about the trip. Here are her
messages.

Hi, Mia! Here I am in Brighton! It’s a great day and I am visiting the Royal Pavilion. It’s a very
beautiful palace with great gardens.

Mia, I’m so sorry you aren’t here. At the moment, I am visiting the Fishing Museum. There
are cool pictures of boats and fishing in the past.

It’s shopping
10 time now!!! I am in the centre of the city. There are great shops, restaurants,
and cafés. I’m buying a present for you.

Hi, again! I am at Queen’s Park now. I’m sitting under a tree and having lunch. I am very
tired.
