In the summer I went on holiday to Spain with my mum, dad, brothers, sisters and niece and nephew and we had an amazing time there. We went to the beach when it was hot and sunny and we had ice cream where it melted so quickly we needed to go and buy another ice cream and we made sand castles and played in the sea and after we went the beach we went to the pier and bought some sweets and played at the fair.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
