Dear Mrs Towers,

I’m afraid I can’t hand my homework in today because an enormous gust of wind suddenly blew it away on my way to school! Firstly, I ran after it because I knew that I would be in trouble, but I wasn’t quick enough and then fell over my shoe lace which had come undone! After that it landed in a puddle and the ink smudged.
