Dear Ben,
I was very glad to receive your letter.
I like reading very much. I like detective and horror stories. I think they are puzzling and exciting. My favourite author is Steven King. He’s the best author to write horror and thrilling book. I like all his books. You should read it. I think you'll like it. I am sure that people will still be fond of books in the future. Nowadays a lot of people prefer watching TV to reading books. But many people think that our lives would be dull without books. I think that electronic books are going to replace traditional books in the future. What do you think about it?
I’ll be waiting for your answer!
Yours,…….
First of all the officer of the watch took us to the navigating bridge. We found the Third Officer there who was making entries into the log-book. He showed the ship's navigational equipment to us.
Then we went to the radio room. As the Second Radio Officer was busy we decided not to interrupt his work and went to the engine-room.
There were many sailors in the engine room.Then our guide showed us comfortable passengers and crewmen's cabins, musical saloons, galley and mess-room.
We spent two hours on board the ferry and were very pleased with our visit. We thanked the Second Officer, wished him a happy voyage and left the ship.
