Vicky and Jack and their exciting presents!
Mrs. Green wanted her children, Vicky and Jack, to have good, strong teeth. Everything, she said, 'You must clean your teeth very well. It's important. And you shouldn't eat chocolate or sweets!' But Vicky and Jack didn't like cleaning their teeth. It was boring. And they loved chocolate and sweets!
One day, Mrs. Green said, 'Next week, we are going to go and see the dentist. If you have very good teeth, I'll give you both something very nice.' Vicky and Jack were very excited when she said that. They cleaned their teeth very carefully after breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.
'Perhaps she'll give me a new bicycle,' said Vicky to her brother. 'Perhaps I'll have a new kite,' said Jack to his sister. They talked about their presents every night when they went to bed.
When they each sat in the dentist's chair, he looked into their mouths and said, 'Everything is fine. Your teeth look very strong and white. Excellent!' The children felt excited. 'What will our presents be?' they whispered in the back of the car on the way home.
When they arrived, Mrs. Green smiled and said, 'You've been very good.' Then she opened the cupboard and gave them new pink toothbrushes. Vicky and Jack weren't very happy!

Hi Bryony, I am glad you can come to the cinema on Saturday. The film starts either 7.30 or 8.30. If you come to my house at about 7 p.m., we can go to the earlier one together. I know you not been to my new house in Mill Road before, but it’s easy to find. It’s the left, opposite the café. It’s older any other house in the street and it’s tallest building there.
Love, Jodie.
