the exercises below.

Dear James,

This vacation is wonderful. I arrived by ship to the island.

The island is beautiful and the weather is hot and sunny every day.
I arrived on Saturday morning and I went to Agios Sostis beach.
I took a long swim and then I sunbathed until noon. Next, I had lunch
at a tavern on the beach. Also, I met some boys from Romania and
we played volleyball with some of the local people. They are all very
friendly.

In addition, I loved the hotel because it is fantastic, very modern, and Mr. James Hook
it also has a pool. I liked the town , I walked around and took some
photos. Then, I went to Delos to visit the ancient ruins. 1128 West Fourth Avenue
Finally, I went shopping yesterday and I bought you a nice present.

I hope you like it. See you when I get home. New York, NY 10003

Love, USA

Dear Wulan

This holiday is really fun. Lily and I arrived in Japan on

Sunday. It's very beautiful here and it's spring. First Lily
and I went to the hotel. We really like this hotel, the
waitress is friendly and there is also a hot spring bath.
Second, we went from the hotel and looked for ramen
noodles because I was curious about the taste. It turns out
the ramen noodles here are very delicious. No wonder
Naruto likes it. After eating, Lily invited me to go to
Tokyo precisely in Shinjuku and Shibuya. While on the
road we met some Japanese people, they were kind and
polite but shy. Arriving at shinjuku and shibuya, Lily and I
were surprised, we saw a lot of cherry blossoms and
beautiful blooming. It turns out that this is a very famous Mrs. Wulan Salsabila
sakura park. We are very happy. It's very crowded here. I
wanted to take a photo using my cellphone but the battery Street of Friendship No. 95
ran out so I borrowed Lily's cellphone then we took a
photo together. Finally we went to the shopping area, I Jakarta City, 13930
also bought a present for you.

I hope you like it. See you when I get home.

Love,
Nana
