Dear David,
How are you? Im fine. Im in London, at the International school of English. Im in class three with eight other students. They are all from different countries Spain, France, Japan, Argentina, Switzerland, and Thailand. Our teachers name is Peter Briscall. Hes very nice. Hes funny and he is a very good teacher.
My new address is at the top of the letter. Im with an English family, the Browns. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have three children. Thomas is fourteen, Catherine is twelve, and Andrew is seven. They are all very friendly, but it isnt easy to understand them.
London is very big and very interesting. The weather is good cold but sunny and the parks are beautiful! Hyde Park, Green Park, and St James Park are all in the centre. It isnt easy to use the Underground, but I understand it now. Its very expensive!
English food is OK, but the coffee is horrible!

Love, Paola
