I made a new friend named Jack. He is an American and he is 14 years old. He is tall and thin with a square face. He wears a pair of glasses and looks very smart. He is also very clever and is crazy about DIY.
Last Sunday, I invited him to the South Hill for a picnic. We enjoyed food and drinks together. Jack brought some American food and shared it with us. We also sang and danced. Jack has a beautiful voice and he sang many English songs. We had a great time. After that, we took some photos to remember this wonderful day.
It was a really nice day and I hope we can have more activities together in the future.
