Dear Mother，
I'm writing from our hotel at Sludge Beach．Sam and I are on vacation with the children for a few days．We’re happy to be here，but to tell the truth，we’re having a few problems．
The weather isn’t very good．In fact it’s cold and cloudy．Right now I’m looking out of the window, and it’s raining cats and dogs．
The children aren’t very happy．In fact they’re dull and they’re having a bad time．Right now they're sitting on the bed playing tic-tac-toe and watching TV．
The cafeterias(餐厅) here are expensive，and the food isn’t very good. In fact，Sam is at a clinic right now．He's having problems with his stomach(胃)．
All the other hotels here are beautiful and new．Our hotel is ugly, and it's very, very old．In fact right now a repair person is fixing the bathroom sink(水槽)．
So，Mother, we’re having a few problems here at Sludge Beach，but we’re happy．We’re happy to be on vacation，and we’re happy to be together．
See you soon．
Love
Laura
