I like hearing about what Mark’s doing at school
when I’m in bed and it’s dark outside. It’s nice that
we have technology to keep in touch with our friends
when they live far away. I miss Mark a lot. He’s my
best friend, but it’s okay because he sends voice
messages and at weekends we talk on the phone.
We also use social media to upload photos and
stories.
I live in London. Mark usually lives in London, but his
parents are working in California for three years. I
like hearing about California because there are so
many differences between California and London.
Mark’s parents often travel to different places for
work and Mark goes with them. One of the best
things about it is that I sometimes visit him. My
parents say I can go and stay with Mark in the
summer, so I am very excited about that!

Example:
What part of Mark’s day does Mark like to send
Jason voice messages?
When it’s morning for him.

the voice message?
