Paul's Story

I went to evening class on Monday night and learned some work and words like 'electric cooker' and 'playstation' and also 'television' and making them into sentences but I find them hard sometimes.

I would like to write to my sister now and then, but I find it hard if I can't spell the words sometimes. I would like to remember them so I could write to my sister and tell her how I learned them.

Dear Debbie,

How are you doing? I hope you are doing all right. I have been going to my evening class on a Monday night and learned some words like ought and also sentences but it is hard sometimes, so I try to spell them but I get them wrong sometimes. I will keep trying aa wee bit. I have been buying some DVDs to add to my collection.
