SUMMING UP
Complete the email. Write one word in each space.
Hi Jack,
You know our school volleyball team won the local championship last year, right? Well this month we’re playing teams from other cities in the UK.
Next Saturday, we’re playing against a team in Scotland. It’s a long way, so we aren’t taking the train — we’re flying there! I’ve never been on a plane before, so I’m really excited.
I’m going to stay in Scotland until Monday. On Sunday, I hope to do some rock climbing. There are some great places for it up there. My friend Steve wants to goskiing, but I don’t think there’s enough snow.
I’ll write when we come back and tell you all about it.
Best,
Sandy
