Dear Celine,

　 I’m writing to tell you about my plans for the Christmas holiday. My family is planning to go to Japan for two weeks this winter. First, we’re going to spend a few days in Tokyo. Tokyo is the capital of Japan. Then we’re going skiing in Hokkaido. This is an island to the north of Japan.

　 I’m very excited about the trip. I’ve neither been to Japan nor skiied before, and I have never seen snow! My friend Carol went skiing last year. Unfortunately, she broke her leg. I hope I won’t get hurt! At first, I’m going to ski very slowly because I want to be safe.

　 We’re going to leave Singapore on December 20th. Singapore will be warm then, but the weather in Tokyo will be cold. It will be very cold at night. We’re staying in Tokyo for three days before flying to Hokkaido so I will have enough time to buy a new Discman. Of course, it will be very cold in Hokkaido and there will be lots of snow. When we leave Singapore, we will wear summer clothes. Then a few days later in Japan, we will wear thick jackets and gloves so that we are warm! We’re going to spend Christmas in Hokkaido and the New Year in Tokyo. We’re going to come back to Tokyo on New Year’s Eve. We will leave Japan on January 2nd.

　 I saw a television program about Tokyo recently. I’m looking forward to our trip because it looks like a very interesting city. In fact, it looks a little like Singapore, but the buildings in Tokyo are much taller. It is just as busy and crowded, though!

　 Well, that’s all for now. I’ll send you a postcard from Japan.
