Dear Lucy,

My parents and I are in Bali now. We are staying in Nusa Dua Beach Hotel. Our room is big and cozy. It has a beach view.

This is my second visit to Bali and it is still wonderful. There are many things to see and do there. The beaches and temples are awesome. The ceremonies are also interesting.

So far, we have shopped a lot. I bought some T-shirts and hundreds of wooden accessories. My mum bought a beautiful statue and my dad bought a large painting. The painting is not only beautiful but also very expensive.

I will return to Malang next week. Hope to see you again soon!

Love

Astuti

Dear Sir,

I’m worried about the situation happening in the North Sea. I will be very sad if the water is polluted because I love going to the beach and swimming in the sea. Furthermore, we will lose the source of protein if the fish and other sea creatures die.

Please do something for the betterment of the beach and the sea. I will support your programs and try my best to give help. My friends and I will also campaign for the North Sea.

That’s all for now. I do hope you will take action as soon as possible.

Your Faithfully

Abbey Brigg
