10th August, 2021
Dear my dearest friend Mia,
Hi! How are you? I’m sorry I haven’t write a single letter since you moved. I had been busy preparing my exams and I hope you’re not
angry with me. I miss you so much and I write this letter because I want to share happiness with you.
Remember that I said I want to go to college? For months, I was preparing many things for my national exam and college entrance
exam. I studied hard by myself. I studied at school, home, and even went to the library until midnight. You know, I’m very ambitious
because I want to be a doctor someday. And guess what? I was accepted into A university! I’m very happy and now I’m preparing many
things for my college. How about you? Did you apply for college? I always pray the best for you.
Yesterday I spent my free time on the beach we visited last year. It’s still beautiful and I hope we can go there again together. What
about your new place? I heard that there are many beautiful beaches in Jogja.
It’s already 10 p.m. and I have to sleep. I just want to share my happiness with you and I hope you can do the same. Please reply this
letter when you have time.
Love always,
Cathlin
P.S. I give you my newest picture!
