TEXT
Last February, I went on a ski trip
to Switzerland.
The first
morning, I got into a cable car. I wanted to go to the top of the mountain and
ski down. The cable car started up the mountain. I looked down, and it was so
beautiful.
Then there was a terrible noise.
Suddenly the car stopped. It didn’t move, and there was quiet everywhere.
It was cold, and it began to get dark
and snow. I was alone for one hour, two hours. I thought, “They’ve forgotten
me!” At last the car started back down the mountain. It went very fast. “Sorry,
“a man said when I climbed out of the car. “We’ve never had this problem
before. Please try again tomorrow. “
“He’s joking,” I thought I’ve had
enough of cable cars for a lifetime,”

Dear
Grandpa and Grandma.
Yesterday at my school, we had
International Day. We had performances, food stalls, displays, Raffle ticket
draw and some of us were dressed in costumes.
We started our day off with
performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth grade. It was
about games. The performance I was in was called Labamba.
Straight
after performance, we
had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asia, Arab and
Greece. Everyone had a job. I did my job after I had lunch. My job was to sell International Day books.
We had displays in the hall. The
displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. The displays came from a lot
of countries.
There was also a Trash & Treasure
stall where they sell toys. The school got them by asking children to bring
them in.
After lunch, we had a raffle ticket
draw, I didn’t win anything but a lot of people did.
Although I didn’t win anything, International
Day was still fun.
Love from Helen

The Day I Became a Hero
I was as amazed as anyone else when I found Brian. I was
flying low over an area of forest, miles from anywhere, when I noticed smoke.
After that I pulled round and flew in low for a better look.
First, I noticed that someone had cleared an area of trees. Then I saw the
camp. I had to circle round a couple of
times. After a while I was ready to fly in low and put the plane down on the
lake. Next I paddled across to where Brian was standing, staring at me as if I
was a ghost. Suddenly, he spoke and said his name.
You could have knocked me flat when I realized that I had found
the kid!
