Between 1995 and 1997, Princess Diana writes 32 letters to her friends. Her friends are Terek and Susie Kassem. Now, they are selling the letters in auction.

Diana writes about her divorce with Prince Charles. She writes how difficult it is for her. She wishes it wasn’t so hard. She hopes that 1997 will be a good year.

The letters can sell for more than 100,000 dollars. Terek and Susie will give the money to charities. Diana likes the charities in the past.

Difficult words: auction (a place where the person can buy something if they spend the most money), divorce (the situation when two married people legally end their marriage), charity (an organization which gives money and food to sick or poor people).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
