My name’s Mark, and I want to tell you about a fantastic ice cream shop called
Carmella’s that I go to in my town. My mum sometimes takes me there, but I
usually just go with my friends.
First we go into the funfair, and when we come out we go to the ice cream
shop. You get big scoops of ice cream there – I usually have two, but when I’m
hungry I have four! Chocolate is my favourite, but I really hate strawberry.
We sometimes have a glass of lemonade to drink, when we’ve got some money.
But they give you free water, too, so we always have that. It’s a great place to
go with friends. How much ice cream can you eat?
