Dear Sandra,

You’ll never guess where I’m writing this email. A cave! You know we’re on holidays in Spain. Well, we spend a few days in Barcelona first. We had a good time there, though one day I didn’t feel very good. I think I ate too much ice cream the day before. Anyway, when I left Barcelona, we came to spend a few days in Granada. However, we couldn’t get a hotel — too many tourists and not enough bed! Then the hotel owner said, “Why don’t try the cave hotels?” We thought he were joking. Living in caves? But there we are and it’s wonderful. We’re enjoying it much that we don’t know when we’re going to leave. We’re never going to have enough time to explore for everything.

Take care!

It turned out that the fire had started because my uncle’s satellite dish had been concentrating the sun’s rays on the curtains of her neighbor’s house but had caused the fire.

But do we think of the other people when we sat down to our Christmas dinner? Of course not — we’re too busy eating those delicious foods related with Christmas. We are too busy wondering that the presents we gave were as nice or better than the one we received. They forget to think of the sick and the homeless. The whole idea of Christmas has complete changed. What a shame!

A thief broke into our house and filled his bag by our possessions when he suddenly feeling a pair of eyes on him. Looking up, he sees an eagle staring at him with cold, merciless eyes. At first the man was too frightening to move, but after ten minute he tried moving quietly towards the door. Therefore, the eyes just followed him and he couldn’t move. Eventually, my parents returned to and found the thief in our house. When my father turned the light, the thief could see that the eagle was just a toy. But it was too late and she was arrested. My father said that the toy eagle were better than any watchdog.
