Personal Letter

Here is Jim's letter. Write the answer.

15 Queen Street, flat 2

Edinburg,

Scotland

20th  November 2013

Dear Jack,

              Thank you for your letter! It sounds your bike trip was really exciting!

            My news - we’ve just had some special activity called Green Weekend. Actually, a green week is organised at our school every year. Last weekend we went to the nearest park where we did some cleaning and even planted trees. After that we had a picnic, and it was great!

           You know, our teachers always tell us what to do to save energy. As for me, it’s just impossible for me to do everything! I can understand why I should turn off the water if I don’t need it, but to unplug TV?!

           What  do you think abou green rules? Do you follow all of them? What do you do? Which things, do you think, you will hardly do?

Sorry, I have to go now - my favourite series has begun.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Take care,

Jim
