Dear Anna,
How are things? Do you remember the delicious fruit salad we tasted at the restaurant? Well, my dad taught me to make it yesterday. It is quite easy! First, you must wash the fruits cold water for a minute. Then, you cut the fruits into small pieces. After that, in large bowl, mix some small pieces of banana, orange, strawberry and mango together. Add a little sweet honey to the fruit. After that, put the bowl into the fridge for two hours. When you take the bowl, pour some yoghurt on top. And that's it! It is the nicest snack I have ever !
Your friend,
Tom.
