Dear Mum,
I hope you're doing well! I’m having a wonderful time at the beach with my friends. It’s so sunny and warm here, and we’re all having lots of fun!
Alex is sitting under a palm tree reading a book. He looks very relaxed and happy. Tim is running around near the sandcastle — he’s playing with his friends and laughing a lot. Peter is sailing a little boat in the water — it’s so cool to see him floating on the waves!
Tina is dancing and jumping near the beach ball. She’s full of energy and seems to be enjoying herself. Johny is lying on a sun lounger under an umbrella, relaxing and soaking up the sun. He’s wearing sunglasses and looks very comfortable!
We’ve built a big sandcastle together, and there’s a bucket and spade nearby for more building. There’s also a big beach ball ready for games. I can’t wait to tell you more when I get home!
Love from,
[Your Name]
