Dear Sue,
Thank you for your last letter. I was really pleased to hear that you passed all your exams. I always knew you would!
I have some good news - I’ll be in England from 15th to 31st July, 1) I’ll try to come and see you 2) I’m there.
I’m arriving at Heathrow on 15th. 3) , I’m going straight to Bristol to stay with my friends, Mike and Lucy, 4) a few days. I’m going to hire a car 5) I want to see as much as possible of England. I’m going to Oxford to see my brother and want to visit a few other places 6) I haven’t decided yet where I’ll go.
I’ll phone you 7) I get to London and hope we’ll be able to meet up for dinner, drinks or whatever!
I’m really excited about coming to England. I haven’t been there 8) I left school and it’ll be good to have the chance to speak English with English people!
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love,
Mariella
