Hi Grandma! We’re staying in a really great hotel. It’s got a wonderful restaurant and pool. The food is fantastic and all the waiters are really kind. We can’t play tennis outside, but I like visiting museums and there’s a really famous one in the town. We can go there tomorrow. I can’t wait! Mum’s OK, but she doesn’t like the weather. She says it’s too cold. From our window you can see the river but not the sea! We’re coming home on Saturday. I’d like to come and see you at about eight o’clock. I’ve got a present for you! Love Ali 1

She went to the city by train. She saw many beautiful houses, shops, parks and squares, there were a lot of buses, cars, trams and trolley-buses in the streets. She got to Minny’s house by bus. Maggy was glad to see her friend. “Do you like to live in the city?” Maggy asked Minny. Minny said, “Oh, of course, I like the city. There is a lot of to eat corn and cheese but there’s a big black cat in the Kitchen of the house where I live every day”. Then Maggy had an idea, “Let’s buy a TV-set for the cat. He likes to watch TV”. Minny liked the idea. They went to the shop and bought a TV-set.
