Question

Dear David,

How are you? I’m fine. I’m in London, at the International（国际的） School of English.  I’m in Class 3 with eight students. They’re from different countries—Spain（西班牙）, Japan, Argentina（阿根廷）, Switzerland 瑞士）and Thailand（泰国）. Our teacher’s name is Henry Briscall . He’s very nice. He’s a very good teacher.

I’m living with an English family. Mr and Mrs Brown have three children. Thomas is fourteen, Catherine is twelve, and Andrew is seven. They are all very friendly, but it isn’t easy to understand(懂) 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 city centre(中心 ).

English food is OK, but the coffee is horrible(可怕)!

Write to me soon.

Love,

Paul
