  5. Example 13/53 Alice St., Lakemba 29/10/87 Dear Grandpa and Grandma, Yesterday at my school we had International Day. We had performances, food stalls, displays, raffle ticket draw and some of us were dressed in costumes. We started our day off with performances but the one I like best was the one from four grade. It was about games. The performance I was in was called Labamba. Straight after four performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asia, Saudi Arabia and Greece. Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had lunch. My job was to sell International Day Books. We had displays in the hall. These display were good but I didn’t get to see them. The displays came from a lot of countries. There was also a Trash and Treasure stall where they sell toys. The school got these things by asking the children to bring them in. After lunch we had a raffle ticket draw. I didn’t win anything but a lot of people did. Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was still fun.
