Hi Rosie,

You asked me about my plans for this summer. Well, I want to spend the summer in the States. But I haven’t got any money. So first I ______ in my uncle’s shop. Then, when I’ve got enough money, I ______ my plane ticket. I _______ to New York, I think. I’ve got some friends there and I ______with them for a week or two. Then I ______ around the country by bus. I ______ some time in California with Melissa. She’s got a car and we ______ down the coast to Mexico. She says she _____ me to surf!

It ______ a lot of fun but I ______ a lot of money. So I have to start my job in Uncle Martin’s shop very soon!
