RE: Salsa

Dear Yolanda,
How are you? Thank you for your letter. You asked me to tell you about something new I'm learning. A few months ago, I joined a drama class. I go every Saturday morninng three hours. The class is really informal and the teacher always gives us really interesting things to do. Every week, we do acting, singing and dance. We spend one hour on each subject.
At the moment we're practising a musical and will perform it at the local theatre. I can't wait for that!
Love,
Marta.

Red Sea, Egypt

Dear Lizzie,
I'm having a great time by the Red Sea in Egypt. We're staying in a really nice hotel near the beach and we've got views of the sea. Yesterday, I went diving and I saw some fantastic fish. My mates went caving in some rocks at the beach, not me, maybe next year.
Love
Marta

Although...

Although I woke up late, I was able to catch the 8 am bus. I arrived at the railway station an was very hapy because there wasn't a queue in the ticket office. I had a little time before my train arrived so I went to buy a little cup of coffe. When I got there I was surprised to see an old friend I hadn't seen for many years. We started to chat and then I forgot the time! Suddenly I noticed my train arriving at the platform. Despite running as fast as I could, I missed the train.
