Read the excerpt from a letter.

Dear Ann,

The funniest thing happened during my ski lesson! I tried a new ski run and I was doing very well. The sun was shining and the snow was fresh. My instructor encouraged me to bring my skis closer together so I could gain a little speed. I don’t know exactly what happened next, but suddenly my skis had criss-crossed and I was skiing backward!

to entertain the reader with a humorous story
to provide practical ski instruction tips
to educate the reader about skiing techniques

Mark this and return
