Dear Angie,

Hi, how are you? I’m having a great time at summer camp. The
place is fantastic and the weather is good.

There is so much to do here that I don’t know where to start. In the

mornings we have Art classes or we go swimming. In the afternoons
we go canoeing or horseback riding. Everyone looks forward to the
evenings when we all sit together around the campfire. We usually
have a barbecue, sing songs, or tell stories. It’s just great.

We’re all looking forward to this weekend. We have a lot of exciting

plans. On Saturday we’re going rafting. We’re spending the whole
day on the river and having a picnic. Then on Sunday we’re having a
big party with live music and lots of food and drinks. I can’t wait!

Well, that’s all for now. See you in a couple of weeks.

Love,
Ryan

Dear Paola

Hi. how are you? I hope you are very well, because I am having a great
time here in Dubai. This place is as if it were in a fairy tale, it is truly
incredible.

here the weather is wonderful, you can do a lot of things in the morning
we go to the beach to have breakfast with its delicious aphrodisiac dishes
and to have a great cup of coffee, in the afternoons we take a catamaran
ride and tour the beautiful coast.

We are already desperate for the weekend to arrive. On Saturday morning

we will take a tour of the museum and Mosques, in the afternoon we will
go to the art galleries and on Sunday morning we plan to tour the city to
take photos of ourselves in its elegant luxury buildings. I would love you to
be here!

Well we'll talk later, I miss you. See you next Monday.

With love
Carmen.
