Subject: A Day in Siem Reap

Hi Oliver,

I want to tell you about a typical day here in Cambodia.

Mia, my sister, gets up at 7 o’clock. I get up at the same time. We brush our teeth and get dressed. Then we go to breakfast with Mum and Dad. I eat pancakes and fruit. Mia drinks orange juice.

After breakfast, we visit a temple. We take photos and walk around. The temples are big and old. I like them a lot.

At noon, we go to a market. We see many things – clothes, toys, and food. I buy a small bag.

In the afternoon, we swim in the hotel pool. Mia jumps in the water. I play with her. It is very fun.

In the evening, we eat dinner at a restaurant. I eat noodles. After dinner, we walk in the night market. It is busy and loud.

At 8 o’clock, we watch an Apsara dance show. It is very pretty.

See you soon!

Lara
