Mrs Fish's Parallel text
Dear Sophie,
Guess what! During the holidays I went to New Caledonia with my family. In Noumea we stayed at the Pacific Hotel and I swam in the pool every day. As well, I kite-surfed for the first time and my sister snorkelled. In the mornings we crossed the road to go to the beach where we played volleyball. In the evenings we ate French food at wonderful restaurants and my sister went out to nightclubs. On the weekend we went to Amedee Island. It was really good weather. We climbed the lighthouse - what a magnificent view! Then we fed the fish and we saw a striped water snake. Next we ate bougna, a New Caledonian speciality, and finally we watched a dance exhibition. Mum danced but she fell over and we laughed. I went shopping but I didn't buy presents. Sorry!
Love
Your boyfriend
James
