I don't usually go to the cinema but yesterday I went to see a film. It was fantastic. I cried a little because the film was very romantic. Melissa was with me. She never cries at the cinema so she didn't cry yesterday but she also enjoyed the film very much. Now I'm writing to my friend Peter to tell him about it. Peter usually lives here in London, like me but this week he lives in Bristol with her aunt because his parents are in Italy. They went there last week on business. Peter is one of my best friends. He is fourteen years pld and we go to the same school. Last summer Melissa, Peter and I went to Amsterdam on holiday for a week. We really had a nice time there. We visited lots of interesting places. We didn't stay in a hotel. We stayed at my uncle's house. His name is George. He is an engineer. He is always very busy but that week he was on holiday and he taked good care of us. He showed us the city and we liked it very much. I must study now. I learn French this year as I would like to will visit Paris next summer.
