Dear Rama,
How are you coping now? I miss you so much. Last Sunday, I went to an amusement park
with my family. When we arrived there, my father bought some tickets before entering. At the
amusement park, I was amazed to see the biggest roller coaster in the world. My brother and I
decided to try the new roller coaster. It was really fun.

After playing the roller coaster, I felt very hungry. My father took us to the café to have
lunch. I ate a plate of fried noodles. It was so delicious. My parents ate chicken rice. My brother
ate fried rice. My father ordered watermelon juice for us.

We also went to see the Mickey Mouse mascots. My brother and I were on cloud nine when
we saw them. We took some beautiful photographs with the mascots.

I enjoyed my trip with my family. That’s all for now. I hope to hear from you soon. Bye.

Your cousin,
Manjit
