| Glasgow Great Britain 15/09/2015 Dear friend, Thanks for your letter. It was so great to hear from you. A new academic year has begun and I am happy to be back to school because I missed my classmates very much. Unfortunately, the summer this year was cold and rainy, so I didn’t spent my holidays well. But I visited my cousins in New York where we spent the time the best way. And what about you? What are your results at school? And how did you spent your holidays? Sorry, I have to finish. My friend Olga came to me. Write back soon. Best wishes, Tom |
