Hi James,
How are you doing? I hope all is ok with you and you have started again with
your activities during this terrible period of Coronavirus. So, I’m writing this email to
tell you about a fantastic day spent with my friends in a restaurant.
It was on 25th July when all my close friends and I went to a fast food
restaurant to celebrate the start of our holidays. The restaurant is in the main square
of my town and among talks with unknown people, smiles and games, we spent all
night here, having much fun.
The restaurant looks like a hospital for the cleaning of the table, chairs and
toilets and the atmosphere is friendly in it. All the night is terribly busy, and people
look like smiled because there is a DJ music to entertain people during their meals.
Moreover, we ate chips, double burgers with cheddar cheese and salad in it
and for a drink I take the biggest glasses of cola that it sells. Food is wonderful and I
think it’s another reason for the many people who you can find in it.
Overall, I want to spend a similar night with you. I look forward to your reply
to my email to know something that you were doing these days.
I hope to hear from you soonest!
Love.
Lorenzo
