Hi Simon!

[ ]

Thank you for your last e-mail. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, but it was my birthday and I have been busy celebrating! I had a big party at the bowling alley near my house and got some really wonderful presents. Let me tell you all about them.

Firstly, my parents gave me a wooden skateboard. It's brilliant and it goes really fast. It's red and blue with a silver stripe down the middle. My grandparents gave me a nice black leather jacket. All the kids at school will love it! My brother gave me a watch, because I lost my old one. It is silver and has a round face. I wear it all the time, even at the beach as it is waterproof. My aunt gave me a pair of trainers. They are plain white and luckily don't have fancy designs all over them as I prefer simple things.

I got lots of other things too, but I'll tell you more when I see you. When is your birthday? I have a great present in mind for you.

See you soon,

Peter
