to my family recently.

About ten years ago my mum got a job teaching

at a university in Indonesia. A t first she only
went for six months, but she really liked it and
agreed to stay longer, so we all went to live
with her. W e had a great time, but last year my
parents decided that they wanted to return to
the U K. Because we’d been there so long we had
loads of things we wanted to take back with us -
all the furniture from our house in fact.

So mum and dad went to a shipping company

and arranged to take everything back in one of
those big containers that you see on ships. The
company packed everything into it: the armchair
and sofas, the TV, wardrobes, desks, even all the
carpets and curtains. O u r whole house was inside
that big green metal box.

W e flew back to the U K and waited for the

container to arrive. About ten weeks later we
were having breakfast one morning when a big
lorry arrived outside our house. On the back was
a big green metal box. W e were so excited. The
men opened the container and started to take
out our things. But they weren’t our things. The
container was full of motorbikes. It was the wrong
one. My parents were so annoyed. But the story
has a happy ending. The men took the container
and motorbikes away, and about tw o months ago
our things finally arrived.

Hi Susana
I was really happy to get your email saying that you’re coming to visit us next
weekend. It’s great news, and you’re going to be here at just the right time!
Next weekend our town is having its special weekend gala. There is one every year.
W h at’s a gala? Well, it’s like a party but with sports and other events, too. There are
lots of different activities. W e ’re going to join in, so I hope you’re ready for some fun!
It all starts on Saturday. There’s an opening ceremony at lunchtime, and in the
afternoon, there are things for kids - races and games and things. And at six
o ’clock there’s a football match - our town team are playing against another town
near here. Then in the evening, a local band is playing in the town square.
On Sunday morning there’s a charity run - it’s about eight kilometres. It starts in the
park and goes past the railway station and through the main shopping area, then
finishes at the park again. And guess w hat? I’m running in the race! (Would you
like to run too? I think w e can get you in - let me know asap, O K ?) And on Sunday
afternoon, there’s a big street party with games and things. The weather forecast
says it’s going to be sunny, so I’m going to wear my new summer clothes.
So w e ’re looking forward to seeing you here. Oh, I almost forgot! On Sunday
