Dear Grandma,

It is a nice sunny day in New Orleans. I’m sitting in Audubon Park and writing you this letter. It is early afternoon and I’m thinking of you. This is the best time of year in New Orleans because it is not too hot and not too cold. There are a lot of people in the park. Some are walking;some are reading books;some are riding their bikes. Are reading books;some are riding their bikes. My little brother Jeff is playing soccer with his friends.

We are fine. I have a part-time(兼职的)job in a sports store, but I only work on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Jeff also has a part-time job. He works in a music store. The store sells musical instruments(乐器). It is a really good job for him. You know that he is crazy about music ! Mom and Dad are fine. They are always busy.

I hope that you are fine. How is your health, Grandma ? How is the old neighborhood ? Do my old friends still remember me ? Please say hello to them for me. Also, say hello to Uncle Jack. Please write soon. My parents and Jeff say hello.

Yours,

Dale
