Read this email from Susie and answer all the questions.

Hi Mary,

Tom and I had a brilliant time in New York last weekend. It was really interesting to
stay in a big city because we live in a very small village here in England. We spent
four days there, so we had three nights in a wonderful hotel. On our first day, we
travelled round the city on a tourist bus. It was really hot and sunny and we saw the
Statue of Liberty. We didn’t climb it because there were a lot of people there.

We had some great food in New York. I loved the seafood pasta and Tom had steak
every day! Can you come to our house next weekend? Then you can see our photos
and I can cook you some seafood.

Call me soon.

Love from

Susie
