Writing: A postcard from a festival

1. Read the postcard. Who is writing it? Where is she? What is happening there?

   Hi Amy,

   Greetings from Jaipur! It’s hot and sunny and we’re having a wonderful time. We’re staying at my aunt and uncle’s house. It’s Holi here in India now—the festival of colours. People celebrate it every spring. They light bonfires and dance and sing around them. They also throw coloured powder at each other. At the moment we’re watching a parade of painted elephants! It’s really exciting here. People are dancing in the streets. I’m taking lots of fantastic photos!

   Give your parents my love.

   See you next week,

   Erica
