Hi Mum,

John and I are having a wonderful time here in Ireland. Every day we got
up early and go for a long walk in the country. When we returned we
usually had a very big Irish breakfast which normally consisted two eggs,
three slices of bacon, toast and jam. We usually ordered a cup of coffee
after breakfast: Colombian coffee, of course.

After breakfast we sometimes went swimming in the river. We

often met children who like to swim there. They were very nice. At night
we nearly always drunk a few pints of Guinness in the pub�s bar before
we went to bed. We always slept well after that, I can assure you.

Send your instructor your complete version in the past by e-mail for next week.
Dear Mum.
John and I had a wonderful time in Ireland. Every day we were there was amazing
knowing new places and talking with new people. We met a lot on a restaurant
called the Mississippi which is a place where you can go and read on the walls
history about Ireland.
People in there was so strangely short that made us felt like if we were buildings or
something. They used to look at us and laugh but our feelings are ok, it doesn´t
matter because at home this tall is so normal anyways I’m just freaking out and so
desperate for meeting you please write me anytime you can.
