Write a letter to your friend, telling how you have spent your summer vacation. Delhi 1 January 2019 Dear Kaveri Hope my letter finds you in the best of health and spirit. I am writing this letter to tell you how I spent my summer vacation. We got one and a half month summer vacation in which we enjoyed a lot and got lots of interesting summer holiday homework. It is the time when we can join some extra activities so I joined cricket coaching classes offered by my school which I wanted to join for a long time. I used to get up at 6 o’clock in the morning and after the daily routine I used to rush to my cricket classes which were from 7:30 to 9:30 am where I learnt the right techniques of batting and bowling which helped me to become a good cricketer. After coming back from my classes I used to have my tasty and healthy breakfast prepared by my mother and took rest. Afternoons were very hot in summer so I preferred to stay at home doing my holiday homework which consisted of a lot of art and craft work. In the evening, I sang songs and played some indoor and outdoor games with my friends. I also went on a one week trip to Jammu and Kashmir with my parents and it was really a memorable visit. I also went to my Grandma’s house where I enjoyed working in her vegetable garden in the backyard of the house. This is all for today. Convey my regards to everyone in your family. Hope to get a reply from you very soon. Yours lovingly Geeta Day 3(Wednesday)21 OctEx 1: Write a letter to your friend inviting him/her to your birthday party. Mention the date, time and venue.
