\"Email\"/
Dear …..,

I’m writing to tell you about my life in London. I am a teacher and I work in a university. What do you do? I ride a bicycle to work. I arrive at about 9am. Then, I drink some coffee and read emails. After that I go to my classroom and teach my students. In the afternoon I make lessons for the next day. What do you do at work?

I live in Brixton with my husband. We live in a small house with our two dogs. Where do you live? In my free time I like walking in the park with my dogs. I also love cooking. Yesterday I cooked some lentil soup. Do you like cooking? What kind of food do you like?

In the evening, I like doing exercise. I like swimming and running. I don’t like playing sport. It’s too difficult. What do you like doing in the evening? Do you like playing sport? Right now, I am sitting in my house and drinking tea. I like drinking tea when I write emails. It’s relaxing. I am studying French. It is very difficult. Next week I have a French exam. I am very nervous! Do you speak French? Maybe you can help me study!

I hope to get a reply from you soon.

Best Wishes

Jane
