‘Everyone stays in bed late here. We have breakfast around 7:30 am and then I take the bus to school. Betty’s
school is huge and her friends are very interesting and helpful. I’m enjoying the lessons, but most of all I love
the facilities. The computer room and the swimming pool are my favourites. These days I am practising the
butterfly stroke and I can almost bring it off. When I go back to Betty’s house I do my homework and surf the
Net. Then I have dinner with Betty’s family and watch TV. It’s always noisy here and you can hear the traffic
all night. I think I’m getting a bit homesick, too. I miss the beautiful landscapes and my friends from my
hometown. I’m happy I’m going home tomorrow, but I’m planning to visit Betty’s lovely family again.’
