A Letter Home
Dear Mum and Dad,
I live now in my own flat. It is very comfortable. It is a bit small and the rent is high. But they say, I am lucky to have it. It is quite a problem to find a place to live here.
I have my own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen is very cosy. There is a common room which I use as a sitting room. The flat has central heating and double doors and windows - so I will not be cold in winter. And it has a balcony with a view of the sea. It is very convenient to have a telephone in my room, that’s why I will be able to phone you sometimes. Also I am very happy to have a fire place in the sitting room; it’s not very big but so charming. I have not much furniture: a bed, an armchair, a table, a wardrobe, some shelves for books and a TV-set, but it’s quite enough for me.
I already know one of the neighbours, an old lady Mrs. Jones. Her house is across the street from mine. She and her husband sometimes invite me for a cup of tea, and I like to have a quiet evening at their place. Mrs. Jones is a wonderful cook and a good housewife. She keeps her house in perfect order.
Anyhow, I’m all right here. Please, don’t worry about me, I will spend a lot of time in the library as I have to prepare for my exams.
I hope to hear from you soon.
All my love, Jacky.

Weather and Climate for Your Holiday
Where can you go for a holiday? You have a lot of opportunities. Of course, most people would like to go to the south or to the seaside because it is warmer and more pleasant, but you must consider the weather and the season.
You may want to go to Siberia, for example. The nature is wonderful there. You will never see such a lot of sparkling white snow. You will enjoy frosty fresh air if you go skiing or bear-hunting, but you should remember that it will be very cold there in winter. The temperature may be lower than 40 degrees below zero.
Some people prefer to spend their holidays in warmer places. There is no warmer place in the world than Africa. It’s warm there all the year round. The sun shines every day, but in summer it’s too hot and sometimes it’s humid there. And you won’t be able to go lion-hunting until the sun sets. But when it starts raining, it may rain the whole week. If you want to get sunburnt it’s the best place. You can get as sunburnt as the natives.
If you don’t want too much exotics, spend you holiday in England. There are so many lovely places on the coast of the sea. England enjoys an insular climate. Summers are neither too warm nor too cold. It seldom gets too hot in summer as there is generally cooling breeze from the south-west, but the temperature may rise to ninety degrees in the shade (Fahrenheit, of course).
Anyway choosing a place for your holiday you must consider the weather forecast.
