Hi Carmina,
I’m happy to be back in Manchester. This weekend I’m going to visit my grandparents and
cousins in Liverpool. I’m excited to see them again.
In three weeks my best friend and I are going to Germany for 5 days. We are going to go to
Berlin and Munich, and we’re going to stay in a hotel. I don’t speak German though, so I’m a
little worried!
Write to me soon!
Love,
Hattie
Dear Carmina,
I’m so happy to be back in Istanbul! It’s so hot and sunny! I’m going to stay with my boyfriend
for a few weeks, and then we are going to go to Morocco for a holiday. We are going to visit
Marrakech and Tangier. I’m so excited!
Are you going on holiday this summer?
Love from,
Merve
Hi Carmina,
I’ve just arrived back in Brittany! I’m going to be here for the next four weeks. I’m going to see
all my friends and family, and I’m going to go to the beach all the time. Afterwards, my
boyfriend and I are going to go to Rome. We are going to visit the Colosseum, the Pantheon,
the Trevi Fountain and more. I can’t wait!
