Example A

Dear Litiana,
This week I’ve had a really cool holiday.
I’ve been missing you a lot.
Yesterday I went to the pools.
I went on the Tarzan rope, hydroslide, and the high and low diving board. I had fun.
Bye.
Love, Bailee
Example B

Dear Phillippa,
I just went to Cape Reinga. It was really cool.
I want to go back there.
Have you been on holiday lately? I had lots of fun.
I have to go now.
See you.
