The school is over, and I’m on the holiday now. (I want to be on the holiday twelve month in a year). I’m having much free time now and I’m enjoying greatly though the weather sometimes is terrible I’m going to spend my vacation in London as I want to meet with new people. Our town is a common, it is neither large or interesting. There aren’t places of interest here, so a few people come to visit in our town. So, the next week I leave for London. I’m going to stay at my parents relatives’ place there. Where are you usually spending your holidays? What are your plans? Are you staying in the town or do you go to the seaside?
Let me to know about your plans. That’s all for now. My stupid brother stands in front of me and he tries to read a letter. I’m so angry of him!
Write soon – but not write on German.
Your,
Gabi.
