Dear Aunty Katy,

Thank you so much for those white trainers you gave me. I really like them, as they are really comfortable and match my other sports wear. In fact, I wear them for all my sports sessions now. I prefer them to my designer ones.

Since I’ve started wearing them, I’ve scored so many goals in matches. Besides this, my team has done so well in the league that we’re tipped to win the championship. Next week I plan to take them on my holiday, because I’ll need a good pair of shoes to see the sights – The Taj Mahal, The pyramids of Egypt and the Acropolis in Athens. With these trainers it doesn’t take long to get anywhere.

Oh mum’s come in to take this letter to the post office, so I’ll have to stop now.

Love from

Jac
