ANOTHER LETTER TO MY MOTHER

Dear Mary Woodford:

How are you? Me I'm doing good. My name is Onno. I'm 13 years old and I'm a learner of Miss Lindsey.

Here in Namibia we are doing alright and we are happy to have Miss Lindsey at school. I almost stay with her for a day because I love her very much.

How is America? Here in Namibia is becoming cold. There was a flood in Namibia this year. When is snow falling down? How is it like?

Miss Lindsey was showing may how you do to do snowballs with little ice. She throw it to me and we start to scratch ice in the fridge and throwing it to each other. That was a lot of fun.

What's your favourite sport? Mine is football. Do you love Obama? In which town do you live in USA? Do you have pets?

I love to write to you and even it's the first time. :)

We thank you for the crayons and everything and Miss Lindsey. But I will steal Miss Lindsey. I kidding :)

Miss Lindsey is very good and give us gums and sweets. I love hot potato game.

Truly,
Onno
