Next weekend, the organization "Clean up!" will be at Torbiton Beach. The beach is very dirty and people never go there to swim. If lots of people help out next weekend, then Torbiton Beach will become a wonderful place to spend a summer’s day. "Clean up!" are hoping over a thousand people will join in and help them clean up the beach. If anyone in the area wants to join in, they are welcome. Work will begin at seven o’clock in the morning and finish at eight in the evening on both days. There will be food and drinks to buy at the car park near the beach. "Clean up!" hope the people of Torbiton will continue to keep the beach clean after they finish work there. If the project is successful and the beach becomes more popular, then "Clean up!" will get to work on other beaches in the area.

Hello Sis, How are things back home? This football trip to the Netherlands is the best ever. I’m having so much fun and we’re playing really well. We’ve won five matches so far and I’ve scored in every game. My new football boots are brilliant! I didn’t play very well in the first match because I didn’t have my shin pads. I think I’ve left them at home. But I borrowed some from Keith, so I’m OK. We’ve got three more matches to play. Unfortunately, I can’t play in the next two matches because I’ve sprained my ankle but the coach says I’ll be OK for the last match. Anyway, we’re leaving on 17th August in the evening, so we’ll be back on the 18th, in the afternoon I think. Tell Mum to pick me up from school, OK?

See you soon, Mark

Hi Ellie,

How are things? I’m not OK. I’ve got a problem. You see, I’m looking after my neighbours’ goldfish while they’re on holiday. Everything was fine until yesterday when one of them died. I think I gave it too much food. Or maybe it was ill and now all the other fish are going to get ill and die, too. Actually, I’ve got the flu at the moment. Maybe, it got the flu from me.But goldfish don’t get the flu, do they? Do they get ill?I just don’t know. Anyway, what should I do? If I call my neighbours and tell them, they’ll get upset, won’t they? I could buy them a new one. Or is that a sillyidea?
