Have you ever been somewhere interesting Let’s see David’s and Thomas’ experiences.
Have you ever been to Berlin Last summer I travelled to Berlin and stayed there for 5 days. I really had a good time. Berlin is a big city. In order to make my travel easy, I divided the city into some areas, and then travelled from area to area. It is better to ride a bike to visit the city than to walk around it. It provides a fast and easy way to move around Berlin. After this visit, I like Berlin more. Though I may not ever live there, I’d ha ppily go back and visit it again.
—David
I’ve been in England for two months so far. I hope you don’t think I have forgotten you. There are so many places to see and so many things to do that I don’t have enough time to write letters. I’ll soon be starting my study at King’s College. So far I’ve been learning about England and British ways of living. I find some of the customs are new and interesting. People here don’t shake hands as much as we do in Germany. During the first few weeks, I was often surprised because people didn’t put out their hands when I met them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other.
—Thomas
