Dear John , Thank you very much for your letter. I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me. We enjoyed having you and your sister here. We hope you will both be able to come again next year. Perhaps you'll be able to stay longer next time you come. A week is not real ly long enough, is it ? If your school has five weeks' holiday next year, perhaps you'll be able to stay with us for two or three weeks. We have been long back at school three weeks now. It feels like three months! I expect ( 期待 ) that you are both working very hard now that you are in Grade One. I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade One. Tom and Ann will not be in Grade One unt il 20 19 . They went for a picnic yesterday but I didn't go with them because I cut my foot and I couldn't walk very well. They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there. Do you still remember the island ? That's where all five of us spent the last day of our holida y. Tom, Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you. We hope to see you soon. Yours sincerely , Mich ae l
