The Best of Luck

QUESTION 2

Hi Fede! It’s such an excellent news. I’d like to receive some money from my parents because I
need a few dollars at the moment. I think you must save the money, even if you need a camera.
You can travel or go on holiday with your friends soon. You must stay home. Remember we can´t
do exercise outside house or go out with somebody. Today is more dangerous than two months ago
and we can get sick easily. You should relax and watch your favourites TV series on your arm sofa
or your bed. I hope that your family and you are fine. Write me soon!
