Dear Rita, I am having a lovely time in Manchester. The weather is nice and warm today. The sun is shining and everyone is wearing T-shirts. Our teacher is great. He came from Manchester too but he does not speak English with an accent. We study three hours in the morning and go on excursions in the afternoon. Now I am sitting in a café on King Street. I do not think a king really lives here! How are you? Are you working this summer? Write soon. Love, Julio
