Dear Christina,
Hello! It has been a long time since I heard from you. How have you been?
How is the weather in Chicago?
I have been busy with my school and girl scouts. We just finished our school
tests, so I have some time to catch up on things, like writing to you! I think I
have done well in my tests, I am hoping for good grades. Do you know
what, I sold 1000 boxes of cookies for my Girl Scouts Troupe! That is more
than anyone I know! What have you been doing lately?
I hope you can come and visit me this summer. Chicago is a fun place,
especially during summer. I will show you around the city - the Lake Shore
Drive, the museums, the downtown, and so on. Let me know if your parents
will allow you to visit me for a few days.
Your friend,
Ann
