Hi Samira!

How are you? I’m having (have) a wonderful time in New York with my family and I                   (go) to all the famous places here. My dad              (enjoy) the trip — it’s his first holiday for a long time!

We                  (not stay) in a hotel. We (visit) some American friends of my parents called Natalie and Brad. They                      (live) in a nice apartment near Central Park. Brad                (teach) at one of the colleges here and he                             (walk) to work through the park every day. That’s cooll! Natalie                  (not go) out to work. She                               (work) from home — she                    (use) a small office in the apartment.

 What                          (you / do) now?                      (you / work) hard for the exams next month?

See you soon,

Alice
