Dear Ratih,

                How are you? I hope you,re always fine, Ratih. I want to tell you about my new doll. I call it Clara. It’s my first Barbie doll. It’s so beautiful and elegant. It has blonde hair and red red lips. It wears a red dress too. Clara is a birthday present from my beloved mother. I’m so happy to have it. I can play for hours with her. One more thing that makes me happy is that my mother bought Barbie clothes patterns and made several outfit for her. My Mom is very nice, isn’t she?

                That’s all for now. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love,

Ratnah
