Dear Kate,

I’m having a great time in England! I’m staying at my friend’s house in a small      ⁽¹⁾ not far from London. The weather isn’t very good here. It’s cold and it often       ⁽²⁾. But it’s not a problem because I have got some warm sweaters, a coat and            ⁽³⁾ boots.

I’ve already met a lot of new friends. We went to London two days     ^(4). This city is fantastic! We visited St Paul’s Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. We are going to London again next Friday because I haven’t been to the British Museum     ⁽⁵⁾. I want to visit it so much!

Yesterday we had a Halloween party. It’s a             ⁽⁶⁾ British holiday which people celebrate on the 31st of         ⁽⁷⁾. Children love it very much. We dressed as witches and        ⁽⁸⁾, played games and ate sweets,       ⁽⁹⁾ and fruit.

I’ve taken a lot of        ⁽¹⁰⁾ of my new friends and the places

I have visited. I’ve also bought you some nice souvenirs.

That’s all for now.

Love, Ann
