Subject: Christmas gifts
Hi Fei,
How are you? I’m ne. I did not write earlier because I was busy at school.
I got many gifts last Christmas. My mother gave me the new PlayStation 4. I was very happy.
My father did not buy the green football shoes. He got the red ones. I was unhappy with him on
Christmas. Now I like the shoes. I wear them every day.
Grandpa came on the 26th of December. He bought a racing car for me. I love it. Grandma did
not come. She sent her gift. It was a blue T-shirt again! It ts me well. I do not like the colour. I did
not tell her.
Write to me soon to tell me about your gifts.
Bye!
Love
Juliano
