Dear Dad and Mum,
Thank you so much for your paper boat letter! I love it very much. It makes me feel brave and warm. Every time I see it, I remember your love.
Life in junior high is very different now. The school is much bigger than primary school. We have more subjects like history and geography. I also need to do homework every day. It’s busy, but interesting!
SAMPLE
Sometimes I feel worried. Science is a little hard for me, and I’m shy to talk to new classmates.
But don’t worry! I will study harder and take notes carefully. I’ll try to join clubs to make friends. I promise to be brave like the paper boat in the river. Thank you for always helping me!
Love,
Mia
