Writing
Activity
Dear
Martha,
… The manager was talking on the phone. When he
saw the robbers he stood up. The cashier was counting some money. When he saw
the robber he put his hands up. A young child was sitting on a chair and she
started o cry. An old lady who was waiting in the queue near me fainted. The
robbers took some money and left. The police arrested them later that day. It
was a terrible experience. I hope I won’t have another adventure like that too
soon! I’ll finish my letter here so that I can post it today. Please write when
you have time.
Love,
Jennifer
