Sample Letter for lessons: the train station

Amber is passing through the old train station — the very station where once her mother took her and her younger brother to catch a train to a nearby city. Her mother was shock to see musicians playing music in the lobby and vowed to keep her young children away from the station in the future.

Amber is reminded of her youth and of the time spent with her younger brother, Samuel. She decides to write a quick note on a postcard and send it to Sam.
