Dear Sharon
How are you? Sorry I am taking/have taken so long to write, but I’ve been busy settling
in. anyway, I thought I’d drop/I’ve dropped you a line to let you know how I am getting
on here.
London is a really exciting city with millions of things to do. There’s so much to choose
from, I sometimes find it hard to make up my mind where to go. Although I still didn’t
get/ haven’t got used to the traffic, the noise and the huge crowds, I think it’s a great city.
I like living here now, but I sometimes feel homesick as I miss lots of things about my
village. I’ll never/ don’t forget the beautiful countryside and stony cottages. Living in the
city means I can’t go for walk by the sea. Most of all, I miss my friends, especially you.
We always were having/ had great time together, did not we/ have not we?
Well, that’s all my news for now. Please write back and let me know about what you were
/ have been up to since I have heard/ heard from you last. Say “hi” to Tom and Joana,
too. I promise I will come back and visit all of you as soon as I can.
Lots of love,
Caroline
