My name’s Simon, and I live in London.
I’m doing lots of different things this weekend. First of all, my cousin Jose is arriving from
Brazil, so we’re taking him to some places in the city.
On Saturday we’re going to the funfair and then to a café. My friend Tom isn’t doing
anything that day, so he’s coming with us. I think Jose is going to love it!
At the funfair, we’re going to ride on the Speed Cars, and then go on the Big Dipper. It’s the
fastest ride in the funfair and it’s awesome!
My sister Marie can’t come, though. She’s got a bad cold – and anyway, she’s too young for
the rides.
At the café, I’m going to order a really big ice cream for Jose – four scoops! Then on
Sunday we’re visiting the museum. It’s Dad’s idea, and I don’t think Jose’s going to like it
very much!
