Dear Claire, Your last letter was a real surprise for me. Sorry, I haven't written for so long because I was very busy at school. Great news about your party! Well, let me answer your questions. I'm going to visit my friend in New York. I want to stay there for one or two months. I'm going to live in my friend's house all time but if something goes wrong, I will get a room in a hotel. So, what plans on holiday do you have? Are you going to another country or stay at home? What about going to the thearte or circus? I have to go now because my mum asked me to help her with the washing up. Drop me a letter when you can. Lots of love, Ann.
