listening. 8 .2. Read the letter below and fill in the blanks with the words in the boxes.

Then, listen and check. Dear Alan, how are you doing? I hope you're having a great week.

I was very busy last week, so I couldn't write to you. Let me tell you about it. On

sale. I bought some comics and magazines, and Judy got some books for herself. On Tuesday,

we wanted to go to the park to ride our bikes, but it was cold and rainy, so we decided to

see Runaway at the movie theater. It was a wonderful comedy, and we really laughed a lot.

The next day, my cousin invited me to the art gallery. There were amazing paintings of

the famous artists, and we learned a lot about them. It was my mom's birthday on Thursday,

so I went to the bakery in the morning to buy a big chocolate cake for her. Then, we had

a party at home with our family and my mom's close friends. It was so much fun, but the

next day, my mom didn't feel good. I think it was because she ate too much at the party.

Anyway, I went to the chemist's next to our house and bought some medicine for her. On

Saturday, it was finally sunny and hot. My sister and I went to the amusement park. We

enjoyed the rides all day and had burgers before we came home. On Sunday, mom was better,

and she wanted to go to the closed store in the shopping mall. When we arrived there,

we learned that there was a sale. Mom bought four shirts for herself and got two dresses

for free, so she was very happy. How was your week? What did you do? Please write to

me soon. Love, Mandy.
