Dear Penny,

I could barely contain myself over here since you told me you’re coming! And yes, I’ve already
ordered my thoughts on what we’ll do together. Need to hear more?

I thought you’d find our guest room quite cozy and relaxing. It’s got spellbinding views of the
city and the famous River Seine, and it’s pretty spacious too – you’d need a bit of space for
your souvenirs, don’t you? But if you feel girly, you could always come to my room for a
sleepover or chitchat.

On the first day, you could just bask in the fascinating views since you’d be jet lagged from
flying six hours. Then off we start the fun – I’m sure the skate park in our neighbourhood will
be irresistible for a fun-loving girl like you. The new skates they brought in last week are so
cool and adorable! We could also check out the new theme park and the Chinese sushi place
in our city.

And I almost forgot – my little brother can’t wait to hook up with you. He’s been going on
and on about how both of you will beat me in COD. But watch out, my aim has got a lot better
than the last time we played it online. My parents are excited to meet my new Aussie friend
too (well, who isn’t?).

I’ve to rush now. But do reply!

See you in a few days, roomie!

Love,

Rex
