“Dear Michael,

How are you? I’m fine. Here’s a letter in English. It’s good practice for you and me! I’m in a class with eight students. They’re all from different countries: Japan, Italy, Taiwan, Mexico and Russia. Our teacher’s name is Isabel. She’s very nice and a very good teacher.

Annie and Marnie are my friends. They’re sisters. Annie’s a dancer and Marnie’s a student. They’re very friendly, but it isn’t easy to understand them.

New York is very big and very exciting, but very expensive! The subway isn’t hard to use and it’s cheap. It’s very cold now, but Central Park is beautiful in the snow. I’m very happy here.

Write to me soon!

Love,

Lucy”
