Sandra ran in and saw Daddy changing his clothes. She stopped to ask, “Where are you going, Daddy?”

“To a party, dear,” said Mr. Hill. “My friends are waiting for me in a restaurant.”

The little girl asked him to take her there, but he refused. She cried sadly and he had to give in. Her mother dressed her well and they went happily.

And his funny speech made all the audience(听众) happy. He told a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success. As soon as he finished, Sandra told him she wanted to go home. Mr. Hill was a little surprised by this but he had to do as his daughter asked.

On the way home, Mr. Hill was excited, but he noticed Sandra said nothing. He asked Sandra if she enjoyed the speech. To his surprise, she said she didn’t. Mr. Hill asked her why. She told him that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him!

Hello Sandy,

We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.

Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as be used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!

I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley(峡谷)below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains(蒸汽火车)are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.

Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early (we usually expect snow in January). It rained all day, then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!

Both Jenny and I are well I don’t know if I told you, in the last e-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

Please write to us to tell us your news.

Yours,

Victor
