ответ: My dear friend,
How are you doing? What’s new in Londow? What’s going on there? Are you still taking French courses?
I’m still working at summer camp, but I believe that next month I will take another job. I am not sure which one though, but it will be working with kids, definitely. Cannot imagine my life without them…
Also I’m looking for a new friends abroad. You know me very well, may be you know people in London I can chit chat with. Share my contacts with person who you think is on the same wavelength as I am.
Sincerely yours,
Diana.
