Hi Andy,
How’s it going? Are you coming to my birthday party on the weekend? I’ll have something awesome to
show you!
I’m getting a new smartphone as a birthday present. I talked to a salesperson at Phone World today, and
he helped me choose the one I want. I really need a good phone for playing games. I’m going to ask my
parents for the Net-X tomorrow. I can’t wait! It has a really good screen and speaker, so man games will
look and sound fantastic. It doesn’t have very long battery life, bit I don’t care because I won’t take it
outside much. I think this smartphone is the best option for me. It is also cheaper than some of the other
smartphones, so I think my parents will agree to get it for me.
I hope you can join my party because it’s going to be fun!
See you soon,
Ashley

Long ago, people thought the Moon was a god and we would never be able to reach it.
However, the invention of telescopes in 1608 enabled people to learn that the Moon is
just another planetary body. The dream came true on July 20th, 1969 when Neil
Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins flew to the Moon as part of the Apollo 11
1
lunar mission. Neil Armstrong was the first to step onto the Moon. During the stay of
more than twenty-one hours on the Moon’s surface, the astronauts found no rain or wind
at all. The Moon was like a desert with plains, mountains, and valleys. The surface was
covered with dust, which was so thick that they left footprints where they had walked.
They left a United States of America flag there and returned to Earth with forty-six
pounds of moon rock for scientific study.
