GRAMMAR

Dear Lucy,

I'm sorry I haven't written to you recently. I'm really busy with my studies at the moment. My course is going well and I'm enjoying my course a lot. The problem is that my course takes up a lot of time.

You asked me whether your friend Nick can visit us. Of course, we will be happy to receive your friend Nick whenever your friend wishes to come.

I'd like Nick to meet my family and my friends. My sister Ann promised to take Nick sightseeing. My sister takes interest in history, knows a lot about our city and can present our city in the best possible way.

Do you think Nick could let us know if he intends to come by train or by plane? Coming by train or by plane would be no trouble whatsoever to drive Nick home.

I hope to hear from you or Nick soon.

Yours sincerely,

Jack

P.S. Forgot to tell you that I attach some pretty pictures. I took these pictures last weekend when we took a boat trip along the coast. The trip along the coast was lovely!
