Dear Kate,
How are you?  I hope you are fine.  I am going to take a vacation this summer to Cape Town. It
will be my first time to fly in an airplane and I am really looking forward to it. I want to try surfing
there because the waves are good for that.  What are your plans this summer?  Please write back
when you get a chance.

I  Know

 

I like to keep a silly list of all the things I  know,

Like, why knuckles make a cracking sound,

Or how to tie a knot just so.

What makes a kettle whistle?
Is knowledge I have learned.

But one thing I need to know,
Is why the ‘k’ is silent in some words!
