Linda comes from the USA. She is visiting her cousin Kitty. She went to the World Park with the Class 1, grade 8 students yesterday. Here is Linda’s email to her parents about the trip.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m doing fine here. Yesterday Kitty’s teacher Mr. Wu invited me to join their school trip to the World Park. I enjoyed myself!
It was a fine, warm day. The sun was shining in a clear blue sky. The World Park is quite far away. It took us about two hours to get there by bus. There was a lot of traffic on the way and the journey was a little boring.
We finally arrived at the park. All of us couldn’t wait to get off the bus. Soon the whole world was there in front of us! There are models of more than a hundred places of interest from all over the world. They are small but wonderful.
We became very excited when we saw the model Eiffel Tower. It is made of steel and is really tall. The model Golden Gate Bridge looked as great as the one back home. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
It was an amazing day because we saw the main sights of the world in just one day. The song and dance shows were also wonderful. We learnt a lot about different cultures.
You can see some photos of the trip on the Internet. Kitty’s classmate Daniel put them on his home page. Go and see for yourselves!
Love,
Linda
