Writing a letter

Dear Nan,

We are having a great holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to the Movie World.When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain. After a while the cloud disappeared. And it became a sunny day. We then decided to go to the Movie World.

The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, Mum and Kelly queued for the Batman ride.

About one o’clock we got a light shower of rain but it cleared up soon after. We then went on all the other rides.

It was a top day. See you when you get back.

Love,

Sam
