Dear Anida,

I’m in Melbourne for my sister’s graduation. It is a beautiful, lively, artsy city with the perfect blend of old and new architecture. I visitd a few of the attractions there. I did quite a bit of shopping at Queen Victoria Market and Direct Factory Outlet. I also took a scenic drive along the Great Ocean Road.

We stopped by Lorne where I got to taste the best fish and chips.

Apart from all the places I mentioned, my favourite attractions would be the adorable penguins I saw in Philip Island and the Sherbrooke Forest on Mount Dandenong. I hiked through the forest and got to see the beautiful nature. It was such a great way to escape the city life. I’ll tell you more when I get back. See you soon.

How have you been? What have you been up to? I need your help to make a desser for my class party. I know you are a fantastic baker, and that is why I am desperately counting on your expertise.

My class party will be held in a fortnight’s time, so we shall have just enough time to shop for the ingredients. I suggest we make ice cream sandwich cake, which is your specialty. Please say you will come and help. I’ll ask the permission from your mum. My mum and I can pick you from your house on Friday at 3.00 p.m. Hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Hi Harry,

How are you? Sorry to hear that you are very stressed over the coming examination. Here are some tips for you. First, do exercise. Maybe go for walk, swim or jog. When you are free, do some breathing exercises. Inhale through your nose slowly but deeply. Then exhale through your mouth. You will find the tension being released from your body.

Next, play with your old toys like the Transformer or Spiderman. Go shopping or window shopping. You can buy something nice for yourself. You can also talk to your close friends or family members. They can calm you down and help you. I would also suggest you to listen to soft music and get plenty of sleep. Pray more and get closer to god.

I hope my tips help. Good luck in your exam!

Your friend, Oliver
