The test of new destinations: Intermediate level B1

To Chris Stewart,
Subject :coming to Glasgow
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your Email. It’s great to hear from you. I can’t wait to come and visit you!
So, about Friday, I’d love to see your friend’s band! What kind of music do they play? I’m
thinking of starting my own band so it’ll be good to meet.
On Saturday, I’d prefer to go on the boat trip on the river. I’m not really a football fan to be
honest.
The boat trip sounds much more childe out.
So, you’re learning Italian? I’m impressed! Why don’t try and find an Italian to practice
speaking with? If you find someone twho’slearning English you could do a language exchange. It‘s
the best way to learn. You should try to read some books in Italian as well.

Can’t wait to see you! Yours faithfully!
