Dear Sue,
You won't believe it, but I am in New York with my class. I am
having the time of my life. We've seen so many great things, I
don't know where to start. We've taken a boat trip around
Manhattan, we've been on top of the Empire State Building and
we've eaten dinner in Chinatown. We've even been to a gospel
service in Harlem. Awesome! Last night we were on Times
Square and lost 3 of our class. The teacher stayed as cool as a
cucumber -- and she was right. The 3 guys turned up at the hotel
an hour later. They had been so busy looking up at the lights that
they had not seen us walk down to the subway.
See you soon.
Marilla
Optional task
