In your letter you ask what I’m going to do to improve my English. Well, tomorrow
I’m going to visit the language centre to see what English classes they offer there in the
evenings. Of course, I’m going to read a newspaper every day. I’m going to spend a lot
on cassettes because listening is so important! There are some good bookshops here, so
I’m also going to look for some other books to read before bedtime. I’m going to write
a diary in English – that’s a good way to learn English.
How are you getting on? I was sorry I had to leave in the middle of the course. Are you
going to write to me again?
Hope to hear from you all soon.
