Dear Sue Anne,

How was your holiday? I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed mine. This time around, my

parents thought of doing something different. 1 .The home encourages families to foster a child for weekends

or holidays. My dad and I thought it was a good idea. 2 . One Saturday morning, we drove to the home. The

children were of all ages, from babies to teenagers. Despite the circumstances that led them to being in the home,

3

they did not seem resentful at all.

Jane was sent to live with us. 4 . The things I took for granted like having my own room, a big, comfortable

house and a well- stocked fridge excited her. We got to know Jane. She was friendly and cheerful. 5

As the holidays ended, I felt sad that Jane would have to go back to the Shelter House. 6 . Write to me and

tell me how you spent the last two months. Take care and bye.

Your friend,

Sally
