EXAMPLE OF A POSTCARD
Hi Helen!
There are lots of tourists here and you can hear people talking SW10 0BW
in many languages. We even met some people from our town!
UK
The other day we went to Central Park, it was beautiful!
The weather was sunny and hot so we enjoyed a lot.
I ate a hot dog which is very typical in New York
and it was really good. We also visited Brooklyn Bridge
and the Empire State Building. I didn’t take a yellow taxi,
but I really want to.
