Dear David:

How are you???? I am fine I am in London, at the International School of English. I am in

class 3 with eight other students. They are all from different countries – Spain, France,
Japan and Thailand. Our teacher’s name is Peter Briscall. He’s very funny and he’s a very
good teacher.

I am with an English family, the Browns. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have three children. Thomas
is fourteen, Catherine is twelve and Andrew is seven. They are all very friendly, but it isn’t
easy to understand them !

London is very big and very interesting. The weather is good – cold but sunny- and the
parks are beautiful. Hyde park, Green Park, and St. James Park are all in the centre. It isn’t
easy to use the underground, but I understand it now. It’s very expensive !!!

English food is OK but the coffee is horrible !!

Write to me soon

Love, Paola

PS. Is my English OK ?
