Dear Gemma,

Hi! How are you? I finally persuaded my mum to take me shopping yesterday. It was great! I tried (1) **on** lots of clothes and I was amazed (2) **by** the choice in all the shops. It reminded me (3) **of** the time we went shopping when you came to stay. We had a lot of fun, didn’t we?

Anyway, I found one of those jackets that are (4) **in** fashion at the moment - but I couldn’t do it (5) **up** ! I needed a bigger size, but they didn’t have any. Oh, well. Maybe I’ll have another look (6) **at** the end of this week. I bought some shoes, though – they’re similar (7) **to** the ones you’ve got, the pink ones. I have them (8) **on** at the moment and they look great!

Oh, and you know that old blouse I had? Well, I’ve changed it (9) **into** a T-shirt! I cut the sleeves (10) **off** and now it’ll be perfect for the summer.

I have to go now. Write soon and tell me all your news.

Lots of love,

Olivia
