Dear Carlo,
I’m very sorry I couldn’t come to the your leaving party last night,
but I had a terrible stomach ache so I went to the doctor’s. I had to
wait two hours for to see her because a lot of other people were there,
but the doctor gave to me some medicine and I feel fine now.
I hope you like your new job when you will get back to Italy. When
you have a time please write and give me your new address so I can
write to you. I would like that to keep in touch with you.
I think we all enjoyed our English class and I hope we have been all
passed the exam. However, I don’t think of Jorge wanted to pass the
exam because he wants to stay in London with his new girlfriend,
Maria. If he fails the exam, and his company will pay for him to stay
at the school and take the exam again. He said me he was in love!
I’m going to stay in London for two more weeks so I can to visit all
the places I haven’t seen yet. Then I’m going to go back to Moscow.
I hope you have had a great party yesterday and I hope we can meet
again some day in the future. I’ll miss everyone which I met at the
school but it’ll be much nice to see my home and family again.
