When the phone is finding a signal, it also sends a message to the telephone network. This message tells the station w 6 the phone is.

Dear Kim,
We had a holiday from school today. It was to celebrate the Queen?s birthday. There is nothing special, like a parade or a festival or a big party as usual. It?s just a holiday. People don?t go to work and children don?t go to school.

I wonder if the Queen gets presents like we do. I guess her presents would be much better than ours. Her friends are rich and they can buy r 1 expensive gifts.
My mum says that some children make things for the Queen and send them to her for her birthday. Mum e 2 that the Queen likes to get things that show how much the people love her. I wouldn?t like someone to make something I don?t need and give it to me for my birthday. I would r 3 have something I can play with. When it?s my birthday, I?m allowed to c 4 what we have for dinner. Do you do that on your birthday? I wonder what the Queen does. I guess she can eat whatever she wants every night. How can her birthday dinner be a s 5 treat?
Mum says that everyone, even the Queen, likes birthdays because her family and friends all come to visit te. She says that is the best p 6 of a birthday. I don?t
agree because I think the presents are the best thing. If you don?t get presents, you won?t have anything to be happy about, except maybe a party with lots of nice food.
It would be nice if you could have a holiday on your birthday as w 7 as on the Queen?s birthday. The best of the Queen?s birthday is that I have a holiday.
Do you have a holiday from school when the leader of your country has a birthday? Please write and tell me about it.
