Hi Zoli! How are you? I'm very well - incredibly well, in fact! Yesterday
was a good day. I was helping my dad in the shop after school
when Lucy, who is a girl from my class, came into the shop.
She's a very confident person and I always feel a bit shy when
she speaks to me. But she was friendly and we chatted for a few
minutes. Then she asked for some washing powder, so I gave her
the washing powder. Then she asked for some toothpaste, so I
gave her some toothpaste. Then one by one she asked for ten
more household items. Finally she said, Actually, I don't want to
buy anything. Do you want to come to the cinema with me
tonight?' She spoke quite quickly, so I didn't hear all the words. I
asked her to repeat. She went a bit red and she wasn't looking at
me, but she repeated her invitation. I was really happy and said,
"Yes, please.' We had a great evening.
Write to me soon!
Carl.
