Reading 4

Dear Jim,

           I’m writing about my winter holidays. On January 11th I travelled to Italy with my aunt Polly. We travelled by ship for a week. Of course it’s a long way from America to Europe, but it was really exciting because the ship was very big, and there were shops, cafés, swimming pools, a cinema and a gym on board. First the ship visited Spain and the south of France. On January 18th we arrived in Italy. Then we travelled by train. It’s a wonderful country! We stayed there in a hotel in the mountains. We went skiing every day. I had never skied before, but our trainer was very good. So on the third day I could ski down the hills. It was fantastic! We went back to the States by plane. Our plane to Chicago was on January 28th. It was the first time I have flown by plane. Usually we travel around the country by train or by car. I’ll never forget my journey to Europe! What did you do on holidays? Write soon.

Bye,

Alex
