Dear Jeff,
You can’t believe what happened last night. Dad took us out to a famous restaurant, but there weren’t many people there last night. “An unforgettable experience,” their website says. Well, it certainly was unforgettable! We ordered the “exotic surprise” and thought it was going to be wonderful, but it was terrible! The first course（一道菜）was chicken and chips! The chicken was bad, but the chips were worse. Then they gave us “picnic-style special ham（火腿）with strawberries”. When the waiter brought it, we saw there weren’t any strawberries but small ham sandwiches under some salad. You can’t believe what happened next. The waiter tried to put the dishes on the table, but he drop（弄掉）one. And then the worst thing happened. He picked the sandwich up from the floor, put it back on the dish and gave it to Mum. Mum angrily asked him to take the sandwich away. “Aren’t you hungry ” the waiter asked. My dad also got really angry and told him off. But he only laughed! I tried ice cream. But I didn’t eat much.
Next time we’ll take you to the same restaurant! Haha.
Yours,
Thomas
