Dear Anuradha,

I hope you are well. You must have started school after the summer vacation. I am writing

to you to tell you about the fun I had during my summer holidays.

My parents and I went to Ooty for 2 weeks. You won’t believe how beautiful the place is!

We went to a huge rose garden that was filled with many beautiful varieties of roses. We

also rode in the famous toy train of Ooty. It was such fun! This was one of the best trips I

have ever had.

Do write soon and tell me about how you spent your summer holidays.

Your best friend,

Aastha
