Hi, Kate! The holidays have gone! It’s really sad. But I’ve got plenty of marvellous impressions to share with you. In June I went to a summer camp. It was great there. Guess what happened while I was staying there?! An earthquake!!! It was around 9 p.m. We were watching TV — there was a nice comedy on when the earth started shaking. We ran out of the house. There were a lot of people. They were running here and there, the children were crying. In about half an hour there was an announcement that the earthquake was over, and people started returning to their homes. It was quite a scary experience. What about you? Did anything scary happen to you during your summer holidays? I can’t wait to read your stories. Talk to you soon, Linda. 5
