Dear Nikita,
Sam and Kate are going to help Professor Wallace. They are going to Indonesia with Joseph and Alexander.Indonesia is in the tropics. There is a rain forest with rare plants. There are high cliffs and volcanoes in Indonesia, too. My parents and I are going on holiday to Italy. Italy isn`t  in the tropics but there is a volcano there,too. The volcano is called Vesuvius and it is near the city of Pompeii. Where are you going on your holidays? Where were you in October? Was your father at Kamchatka in winter? Write soon.
Bye,
Ben.
