Subject: Hello, Twin Club

Hi Twin,

How are you?


Today, I walked around my neighborhood.
I love to walk around my neighborhood.
I see lots of people, lots of cars, lots of stores.
Everything goes so fast!

My friend, Jamilla, and I play basketball in the

I am glad to be back home, but I miss our
Twin Club!

Your twin cousin,


Jorge
