Hi, James!
What’s up? I don’t know anything about you since you went to London. How is school going? How is your family? Have you met a lot of people?
I’m in Liverpool now and I’ve been thinking of you these days, I thought that I could go to visit you someday and you could show me the city, what do you say?
Here things are good, as usual, but we all miss you, although you talk every week with Mary, we keep doing it. But we’re happy ‘cause we know you’re OK and you’re doing what you like, and that’s great!
Well, I have no more to say, I hope that you answer me soon.
Love.
– Alice.
Hi Ayami!
What about your summer? After we left Oxford, I went to Aragon with my family, to my mother’s village and I had a great time. And finally, I went one week to Lanzarote and there I visited a lot of very nice places. I hope that your summer hes been fantastic. I missed you a lot and I hope that you and me will see each other again one day.
Now, the summer has finished and I have to started school again. I’m very stressed because I must do many things and I haven’t much time to do it.
But, this year is the last one and if I pass I will start University. I’m very excited but, at the same time, I’m very afraid because I don’t now what I want to study yet.
And what about your trip back to Japan? What are you doing at the moment? Have you started school yet?
Look after yourself
Many kisses and one hug
Sílvia

Did you remember last day we met I told you that this summer I would go to Mexico? Well, finally I went to Mexico. It is a very beautiful country, and it has the best beaches in the world, whith transparent water.
Well I must go, I’m going to explain all my summer next time we meet.
See you soon.

Hi Jan!
It’s been a long time since I last saw you. How are you? I’m very well, that’s true. Do you remember that I would like go to England?, well, finally I went there. I wanted to go to visit you, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have your adress when I put there.
This summer has been very special for me because I’ve met a lot of people, and I’ve noticied that Piera, my town, isn’t the only thing in a world.
I’ve just started school again, so I’m trying to get into the routine, but it’s quite difficult. In my class, there are only two new students, Laura and Silvia. This course I’ll try to study very much to pass with a good enough note for PAU.
What about you? What about your life? Is it all the same or something new? Have you started school yet? I hope that you’re very well.
Keep in touch!

Hi Ashley!
How are you?
I’m still in Florida , but I’ll return tomorrow to Spain. Things here are good. I’m going out with mike since yesterday and I thing that hi is the boy who I was looking for. But tomorrow I will be in Spain and I won’t see mike until next summer. I’m a bit depressed about this but Mike told mr that he can go to spain at Chrismas. I think that you will be in NY with your family. When do you begin high school?
I begin on 15th September. I want to see my spanish friends again, but I’ll miss all of these things, the beach, the sun, the discos… and, of course, my friends from Florida.
If you can come to Spain at Easter, please do it!
Write me soon! keep in touch

Hi Isabel.
How are you?
I’m writing this letter to you because I would like to speak to you.
This was a fantastic summer! I had a great time. You are a real friend. How is your brother? My mum asked me about him. When did you get back to Spain? Maybe next summer?
When you left, I went to Pirenees with my parents. But in Pirenees I was bored because there wasn’t any people and any child.
Last week I will start school. This year I’ll study second of Batxillerat, the humanistic modality. I think that this year I must study a lot. What will you do this year? Study or work?
When I finished second of batxillerat I will study at university, but I don’t know what I will study.
Anyway Isabel, I will say goodbye now. I must go to the supermarket with my mother, this is very boring!
Keep in touch!

My mother has told me that you live in Piera, you have come this year. This news is very good for me. She has told me that you have one daughter too and I have very excited.
I thimk that Erika, Sílvia and I can meet you. We would like to see you and speak many hours and we explain our lives.
We one studying all together, like before. We have second btx and the three go very diferent tracks but we are still friends.
I think when we’ll see, anything will be like before. Before we were babys, now we are women with personal things. We are starting in adult world!
Keep in touch.

Hi Jane,
How are things? I’m sorry I couldn’t write before, but you know: school has begun again amd I’m a little bit busy. But I finally found the moment of writing.
Tell me about your summer! Mine has been so perfect! I went to England! Can you believe it? I went to Scarborough, near York, because of a grant I was given. I met a lot of people there, they were very nice!
I spent those two weeks in England with a woman, Mrs Clarke, who always gave me all kind of facilities to make that “new life” easy for me.
Apart from that, there’s nothing special. I spent some days with the family, some others with friends in Barcelona, and some other afternoons I went with friends round the town.
Well, what about you? Tell me everything!
Write me soon!!
Sara
Hi Frank,
I’m sorry I haven’t written for a while, but I’ve got a little problem with my grandmother and her motorbike. I explain the problem then, but I’m so happy to receive your letter.
Well in answer to your question, yes my grandmother has a motorbike, a fantastic red and black motorbike. The problem is that my grandmother doesn’t leave her dog in the house when she goes out with the motorbike, she puts the dog on the motorbike and last week she lost the dog. Fortunately we found it in the road two days later and now it stays all the day in home.
What else? I organize a concert in Piera, you will come and see and listen a so good music bands. And if you come you can sleep in my house these days and we can visit Barcelona and the cities that you like.
Oh yes, and your holydays? Did you stay in Paris? Explain me something, like the best places of the city, please.
Write soon.
