Last month I went to the city centre to do some clothes shopping. There are some great shops there but I don’t usually go because it takes an hour by car to get there. Anyway, I found some lovely things and I was very happy. Then, I saw some fantastic red trousers. I bought them without trying them on. When I got home, I tried them on and they were too big for me.

            So, the next Saturday I went all the way to the shop again and got a smaller size. I got home and this time they were too small. I couldn’t believe it! In the end, I gave them to my sister. They fit her perfectly! I hate shopping sometimes!

Hi Craig,

My name’s Freddie English and I’m your new e-pal. Here are a few things about me. I play lots of sports and I’m quite fit and healthy. But I’m a bit chubby. I’m trying to lose weight at the moment. I’m not eating burgers and chips, or pizza. Well, I think pizza’s horrible anyway. What about you? What do you like eating?

I’m quite funny and I make my friends laugh but I don’t like adventure at all. I’m really scared of roller coasters and even horse riding scares me. What about you?

My town is a bit boring but I like it. There’s a great Internet café near my house. Do you like computers? I’ve got lots of computer games and I surf the Net all the time. Have you got a laptop? I want to get one but they’re a bit expensive. I might get a job at the local pizza restaurant soon to make some extra money.

Do you like music? I’m going to be famous one day. You see, I’m the lead singer in a band and we’re very good. Well, I think so, anyway.

Write back soon, OK?

Freddie
