Dear Tamara,

Hi there. How are things with you? It’s good to know that you are doing fine in business. Have you received my postcard?

I am now sitting in my hotel room writing a letter to you about my wonderful holiday. I think this is the most wonderful holiday have I ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to visit, beautiful local art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It’s Thursday today. I can’t believe this my last day. I wish I could spend more time here. I am certain I will stay longer on my next visit.

I’ll be home about 3 p.m. tomorrow if the flight is on time. On Monday I must go back to work. I can’t wait to show my video to my class.

Okay, that’s all for now. Send my love to your children.

Best wishes from,

Linda

“… the most wonderful holiday …” The word “wonderful” has the same meaning with ….
