Hi!

How are you? How were your exams?
Tell him 3 ( your own idea)
I've been thinking about visiting your country! I want

like to come in April or May. Is that a good time?
Yes, because …
I know you've been to many places there so I was
wondering if you could recommend some for me to
see. I particularly like historical sights.

Also, can you tell me about some of the customs
