Hi, om Jay
How are you? Recently | heard that you're
confused to prepare for your travel, so | introduce
travel in europe to you. I've been there for a month
last year. Whenever | saw à lot of extraordinary
scenes, | was surprised. and. impresive. We are
accustomed. to the oriental culture, so it’s too hard
to face the western culture. If you want to travel
a month, | suggest four or five nations to you
Especially, if you went to England. You could see
the grand palace, fantastic musicals and a.
romantic cityscape in London at right. As you make
up your mind to go to the europe. | can advise a.
travel plan and show my pictures about europe.
Anyway, | hope you to have a unforgetable travel. |

How's going?
Thank you for a letter.
my friend,
Last week | made some changes to my room. It was a
big event for me, because | bought big red shelves
and a red coach. As | like red coaches, | have been
looking for a red shelf and coach, and last
Wednesday | found a good one. Last Saturday they
were delivered to my house. It was too heavy to carry
up up stairs. lt took these hours to fix the furniture.
It is hard work for me to carry such heavy furniture.
Although | was exhausted so much the furniture
looks good in my room. Would you like to come to my
home to ses these furniture? Let's have English teas
on that red sofa.
Sincerely yours
