Dear Sue,

H ow are things down there? I hope you come and see me in
Northern Alaska someday! It’s cold and icy, but let me tell you
about an amazing thing (a) here. During summer, the sun shines for
the entire day. In some areas, (b) this continues
for almost 6 months! So people call it “white
nights.” Why don’t you come and
experience (c) it yourself?

Sincerely,
Mike

Dear Mike,

T hanks for the letter!
You should visit me some time, too! You would love the
tropics, where it’s always warm and sunny.

. But the rainfall helps fruit plants grow
well! I hope you can enjoy all kinds of sweet fruit (d) here soon.

Sincerely,
Sue
