ellen_chase Great! Sam and Jamie are really happy. They make sandcastles all day and eat ice creams. Most of the sand and ice cream goes in their hair, though. LOL

ellen_chase Dinner time! Food here is delicious. Portuguese people love children and we eat in restaurants every night. Sam and Jamie are being so good!
albertkane3 Ellen!! Where are you? I'm planning a holiday in Portugal!
ellen_chase Praia do Baleal!! It's beautiful. I know a woman who has a house here to rent. PM me if you want her email address.
Tips
- You don't need to write full sentences.
- Use LOL to mean 'laugh out loud' and PM to mean 'private message'.
- Add xxx for kisses.
- Use emojis to show how you're feeling.
- Use extra exclamation marks (!) to make an idea stronger or to show you are joking.
Hello Elmar H.,
Are you still not able to see the Reading text? I can see it now. It could be that your browser needs updating. I'd suggest you try that or, if possible, trying to see the page in another browser or on another device.
If none of that works, you can at least read the text in the Worksheet.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
All the best,
Kirk
