Dear Maria,
At last! Hooray! We finished all our exams yesterday. The last one
was History. It was horrible. I think History is really difficult because I can’t remember all the facts and the dates. I did seven subjects. The worst were Science and History. I found them very difficult. I always forget most of the things we’ve learned.
The best subject this year was Geography, but we only had it twice a week. We’re going to Wales in the middle of August, to see my granddad. Would you like to come with us? Mum says it’s OK. Please write and tell me about your year at school. What was it like? Were your exams easy?
Bye for now.
