Hey, have I told you that on my birthday, in two days time, my friends

are joining me on a train journey to York. We will be travelling after

lunch on Thursday and staying until Sunday. I will be sitting by my

friend, Gina, during the journey. We are going down the River Ouse in

a boat and we are going to walk up Clifford’s Tower, near York Castle

Museum. If there is time, we will go into the museum to look inside

the prison cells and walk around the old buildings. Oh, I forgot to say

that in the evening on Friday, we are going on a ghost walk - cool! It

starts by York Minster, takes you through York’s old, narrow streets

and then along the river. Saturday night, we are dining in an Italian

restaurant. Mmm, I love pasta!

 Prepositions always come before a noun or pronoun.
 Prepositions can be made up of more than one word
(e.g. on top of the box).

emotions. Use occasionally!
