Bella is reading a postcard from her friend.
Bonjour, Bella! Greetings from France.
I'm writing to you in my room. There's a
bakery near my hostel. The bread there
smells wonderful. I can even smell it from
here. It makes me feel so hungry!
This is my first time to visit France and I'm
excited. The streets, the people and the
way they speak are all new to me. I want to
explore the neighbourhood, but I'm afraid.
My French isn't good enough and some people
here don't look very friendly.
My team and I have football training every
day. I feel tired, but I still try very hard.
Our next match is on Friday. That's just
two days away! I'm a bit nervous and I don't
sleep very well at night. I hope we can win
it and enter the final. My coach is hopeful
about us. We don't want to let him down.
I hope we can bring the trophy home!
How are you and Lily doing in Hong Kong?
Do you feel bored without me? You're
taking your piano exam next month. Are you
practising hard? I'm sure you can pass it
with flying colours because you're very good
at it.
Write to you again soon!
Love,
Poppy
