Hello, Ann
Congratulation! I’m happy to hear that you are getting married with Sam in June. Ican’t wait to go to your wedding!
I’m doing great! Last summer, I took a travel to the USA. I did sightseeing in Los Angeles, New York, and Dallas. I also bought a lot of souvenirs for my family.
Last weekend, I played with my friends in Hongdae. I got drunken, so my friends had totake me to home.
I love my university. I joined the photography circle last month, and I met a really cool girl. I’dreally like to date with her.
Look forward to seeing you in June!
Cheers,
Mike
