Dear Lorna,

Thanks for the pictures of your house and town. The castle in the picture is amazing and it isn’t far from your house. Wow! My neighbourhood is very different. I live in a big city. My house isn’t near my school. You can walk to school but I can’t. I like the skatepark in your town but it’s small. The skatepark here is very big and my friends and I have great fun there. We’ve also got a museum, an art gallery, a lot of theatres and, of course, cinemas. I often go to the cinema with my friends.

Write soon,

Meg
