Mary,
2) Thanks a lot for your letter. I hope

you passed all your tests!

1) First of all, let me tell you about my one week package holiday to Rome. Everything was OK. All the excursions were interesting. We visited the Vatican and were impressed by the famous St. Peter’s Cathedral. I also enjoyed the Colosseum and other sights of Rome. All in all, we enjoyed our holiday.

3) And what about you? What are plans for the summer? Will you come to visit us? Russia is a unique country and I’ll show you lots of interesting things. Let me know what cities you’d like to visit.

4) Well, I’d better go now. I have to do my homework. Write back soon!

7) Lots of love,

5)Lucy
