a fact that only one person among fourteen million wins the lottery. Sadly, knowing this fact doesn’t stop people from gambling. People of all ages gamble. A lot of teenagers become victims of this addiction. This is Jerry’s story:
“I started betting on American football. I was gambling on all the sports. I did well at first. I couldn’t wait to get the sports page every day so I could see who to bet on. Then I discovered Internet gambling. I stayed up all night and I felt sleepy and tired at school. I began losing money but I still couldn’t stop gambling. I used my parents’ credit cards to gamble online. When the credit card companies started calling the house, I was thousands of dollars in debt. I know I’ve been doing wrong but I don’t know how to make myself stop gambling.”

Dear Finley

How are you? I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I hope she will get well soon!

Thanks for inviting me to the cinema. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't go, because I really need to prepare for my math exam.

Anyways, maybe we can go to karaoke next week?

Also, lately I was reading a very interesting book and I wanted to recommend it to you. It's called "Call me by your name". This book is about two people, who suddenly fell in love with each other in Italy.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Love, Caitlin
