Hi! I’m planning a trip to New York City for spring break. Are you going to have any free
days in March? Maybe we could do something. I would really like to visit all the museums
in the Big Apple!
I also have several questions. First, do you think I could stay at your place? If your
apartment isn’t too big, I could sleep on a couch or on the floor. I tried to book a hotel, but
they’re very expensive!
Also, how’s the weather this time of the year? Is it hot, cold? Is it raining? I don’t know
what kind of clothes I should pack.
And finally, do you know any good Chinese restaurants? You know I love Chinese food,
so I would like to find some information online.

I hope that everything is going well and you’re enjoying your stay in New York.
See you soon in NYC!
