Dear Jane A
I am going to tell you about
my last journey. I was ready
to travel to Paris when one
day I was knocked down by
a car and broke my arm. But
I decided to go anyway.
My Dad promised to give
a ride to the station, which
was far from our house.

Yesterday I decided B
to have a look round the
shops and I bought some
souvenirs. Today I’ve
been to a couple of very
interesting art galleries.
On my way back to the
hotel I discovered a
really fascinating market.
I’m afraid I’ve spent too
much money.

We planned to set C
off very early to catch
the 7 a. m. train. In the
morning the car couldn’t
start. When we finally
left it was 6.30.My dad is
a very slow driver and I
asked him to speed up.
When we were doing
120 km/h the police
stopped us. We had to
pay a rather heavy fine.

To make things worse our D
car began to jerk as we had
run out of petrol.
We finally got to the station
at three minutes to seven. I
kissed my father goodbye and
jumped on the train. But as
soon as I reach the next
station I realized that I had
got to the wrong train.
Hope your holidays were
better than mine.

Tomorrow I am going to E
see London from London
Eye. I was told the view
from it is unforgettable.
Finally, I should say that
London is fantastic. I’ve
taken a lot of photos.
You’ll see them when I
get back home.
See you later.

Dear Nick F
I’ve been to London for
almost a week now and
I’m having a great time. I
spend the first few days
going sightseeing –
Houses of Parliament,
the Tower, Buckingham
Palace and all the usual
attractions.
