My dear friends!
I arrived home, already dismantled all my bags and suitcases. The road was good, flew very quickly, all the amenities are there, the plane is very comfortable. I really enjoyed visiting you, especially liked the museums and theaters we visited. The trip was unforgettable!
I am very grateful to you for inviting me to England to your home, your house is very beautiful and large, I hope I can still come to you!
Your dear Pitterson
Bye
Объяснение:
Дорогие мои друзья!
Я приехал домой, уже разобрал все свои сумки и чемоданы. Дорога была хорошая, долетели очень быстро, все удобства есть, самолет очень комфортный. Мне очень понравилось у Вас гостить, особенно понравились музеи и театры в которых мы побывали. Поездка была незабываемой!
Я очень благодарен вам за то что пригласили меня в Англию к себе домой, дом у вас очень красивый и большой, надеюсь еще смогу к вам приехать!
Ваш дорогой Питтерсон
До свидания
