Dear David,
I have a great time in England. I´m writting to you in English because I want that you practise
English, too. I´m staying with a family very nice. They have a daughter whose name is Emily. We are
going to a different place every days. Yesterday we went to Buckingam Palace to see the Changing of
the Guard. There was much people and I taked some photographs. We are starting the school on
Monday. I´m a little nervous, but Emily says that everyone are very nice. I hope she is right. I miss you
and all my others friends. Send my love to everyone.
Love,
Ann
