Hi Kate!

How are you? Are you doing anything special this holiday?

I’m writing to tell you about my hobbies. I collect spiders. I look for them in my house and in the park near my school. I often take photos of them with my camera.

My favorite photo is the one of a yellow spider eating on a leaf. I like spiders because they aren’t horrible.

I’ve also got lots of computer games. I don’t swap them with my neighbor, Sophie, because she usually loses them. On Saturdays, my friends and I play computer games and I always beat them.

I’m looking for new computer games at the moment. There are some really new ones, but they’re very expensive. So actually, I can’t buy them.

Bye for now!

Sarah
