Dear Mary,                                                                                                    

  I'm writing to you from my new flat in the city. I'm living with my sister now. The flat is great and it's very modern. It's got large windows, a big balcony and two bedrooms. Unfortunately, I'm sleeping in the smaller room, but the view is better. The neighborhood is really safe, and the underground stops right in front of our block of flats. It's amazing how easy it is to get around. In the city centre, there are many great shops, restaurants, theatres and museums! I love living here. The only bad thing is that sometimes it's noisy. Last night, the traffic was very bad and I couldn't sleep. Anyway, come and visit me sometime. Maybe this weekend? We can spend the day in the city centre and have a great time!                             

  Write back soon,

Hi! My name’s Samantha and I live in London. That’s London, Ohio, USA! It’s a bit different from London, England. It isn’t as big as London, England, and there aren’t as many things to do, but I like it. There is a great swimming pool here and there are lots of parks. They are smaller than the parks in London, England, though. My house is on North Main Street and it’s opposite a basketball court. I go there every day to play. Last year I travelled to Europe for a month. It was my longest trip ever. Of course, I stayed in London, England, for a few days, just to see what it was like. It’s a beautiful city with lots to do. The red double-decker buses were great and I really liked the museums. But I think London, Ohio, is nicer, though, because it’s my home.
