Read the postcard. Who is it from? Where's the person at the time
of writing?
Hi, Tom!
Hope you're doing well. We've arrived in Cali-
fornia, and it's great! We're staying in a big
hotel. I've never stayed in a hotel before - I love it!
The weather has been wonderful so we've spent
hours on the beach. The water is so warm! My dad
has been surfing and I've just tried scuba diving
for the first time in my life. It's amazing! I havent
tried surfing yet, but I want to
Marcus has had a great time too. You know
he's crazy about horses and he's already taken a
horse-riding lesson here.
Well, it's time for dinner. My parents are
waiting for me. See you soon.
Love Lucas
xoxo​

My favourite holidayмой любимый праздникmy name is alexandra, i’m thirteen years old. my favourite holiday is my birthday. on this day i get up early, but by that time my mother already cooks food for a festive table in the kitchen. in the morning my family and friends begin to give presents and congratulate me. my parents and younger brother always want me to remember this day for a long time that’s why they decorate the flat with many-coloured little balls. on this day a lot of my friends and relations usually come to see me. when we all get together we sit down to table and begin to celebrate my birthday. everybody has a good time dances and communicates with each other, the music plays loudly. at the end of the holiday we turn off the lights and my father brings a big cake with candles. i must blow out the candles and make a wish. after that we have tea with a cake and then we dismiss the guests. i would like to celebrate my birthday every month because all our relations and friends can meet together on this day. i grow up every year but my birthday always remains the most unforgettable holiday of the year
