A Postcard from Greece

The following postcard letter describes Helen’s holiday in a foreign country. Read the text and complete
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.
Mr. James Hook
In addition, I loved the hotel because it is fantastic, very modern, and
it also has a pool. I liked the town , I walked around and took some

Finally, I went shopping yesterday and I bought you a nice present.

My last vacation was a five day trip to Japan. I know

Japan well because I like anime and Japanese things
and it made me understand the ins and outs of Japan
and even old Japanese traditions.

Instead of staying at a hotel, I stayed with one of my

acquaintances. It was a lot of fun, and a bit like the
life I've always dreamed of. I wanted to do all the
same things as I did in my dreams for the future, so I

visited the place. it's a little different from the things Dida Devira Septavina
I see on the internet, maybe because the photos on the
internet are old photos. I also go to the supermarket
where anime appears very often. I love seeing all the

different foods. I was so happy to have found my
favorite cheese and chocolate biscuit, but they were a
little more expensive, but that's okay they were really
good. Kota Malang Jawa Timur. 65123N
