Part 6

Suggested answer:

Dear Billy,

How are you? We held a charity fair at our school last week. It was a great success. We raised a lot of money for the victims of the recent flooding in India.

We set up stalls to sell things like crafts and cookies. My mum made some delicious chocolate cookies for us to sell. There was also a magic show. Although the ticket for the show was fifty dollars, many people bought tickets to watch the show.

I am so happy everything went well at the fair. I will send you some photos later.

Take care,
Roger
