Dear Emily.
Thanks for your e-mail. It’s always great to hear from you.
As for me I’m really busy. University life is very exciting, but
LET’S
there’s so much to do. I get up at 8 o’clock on weekdays
START….
because lectures start at 9.30. I spend most of my afternoon
in the library as I’m taking six different courses this term and
there’s lots of reading to do! At the weekend I do some part-
time waitressing. So, as you can see, I’m working very hard
these days. But it’s not all work and no play. Tonight I’m
having dinner with some classmates. I can’t wait!
I’d better finish here because Sarah, my flatmate, is calling
me to come and help her. Come and visit me soon!
