Read this postcard from Becky and answer all the questions. Awarded

Hi Amy
I am on holiday in the countryside with my family. We are staying in a nice
hotel near a large lake. Every morning, my brother Nicholas and I have a

r
pe
sailing lesson for two hours. There are five students in our class.
Our boat is small and red. On windy days, the boat goes really fast in the
water! I love sailing but Nicholas doesn’t like it. He swims in the lake in the

Pa
afternoon because he loves swimming.
Yesterday afternoon, I was in a sailing competition. There were seven boats
and it was very windy. I didn’t win the race but it was fun!

See you soon!
Love from Becky
