Use of English A1. Holiday Resort

Dear Mum and Dad,

I'm so happy to be here in Bergen for our holidays. l … a fantastic time and I just love this part of Norway.

Lee and I              (stay) at the historic Royal Hotel.

At the moment we             (have) a cup of hot chocolate and           (enjoy) the spectacular view of the harbour.

The weather     (be) cold, and perfect for skiing. The seven mountains around the city are covered in thick snow. The famous fords      (be) stunning.

In these quiet waters you can sail past mountains, waterfalls and fields. We        (spend) most of our days hiking in the mountains with our Norwegian friends, Erik and Katerina.

Norwegians really       (love) the outdoors.

They      (be) very friendly and kind to us. I think they're really good-looking. Most of them tend to be tall, with fair hair and light blue eyes.

The food     (be) delicious. Norwegians       (like) eating fish and seafood, especially salmon, shrimps, lobster and caviar.

I just       (love) eating fresh bread and smoked salmon for lunch.

Next week we                  (go) to Oslo. I can't wait to 'visit the Outdoor Folk Museum.

Lee is not so keen, but l'm looking forward to it. Our flight             (leave) from Oslo next Friday, so I hope you’ll receive this before we get home!

•I think you should come here next year. I     (be) sure you would love it!

See you soon.

Love, Susan
