Dear Mum and Dad,
     This is not my dream holiday. The weather's awful. I'm sitting in our hotel room and it's rairung quite
hard outside. All the other people in our group are playing cards or sitting miserably under the umbrellas
near the pool.
     In fact,everything's quite miserable here. I can't wait to get home.
                                                                                                                                             Love,
                                                                                                                                                P

Dear Mum,
      The summer camp is going badly.I'm writing this in my tent and it's raining again. Water is coming
through the tent. Everything's wet. The food is terrible. I'm hungry all the time-and I don't like any of the
other children here. Please send me some money immediately.I want to go home.
                                                                                                                                        Love ,
