Subject: Hi!

Hi, Ellen!

Hope you’re doing well. I’m spending a few months in Newyork. I’m visiting many interesting places and meeting new people.

I am studying a lot. Every day I have English classes in the afternoon. My English is improving little by little. But, sometimes, it is hard to understand some Newyorkers, they speaker too fast .

My routine changed completely. These days I am getting up very early to take some Literature classes. They start at 8 a.m. The teacher is great, her name is Louise, She’s smart and elegant. I’m thinking about getting a part time job. What do you think about it ?

XOXO
