Dear Joanne,
Hi! I’m so excited! I can’t wait
to tell you my news. Two weeks ago I saw an
advertisement in the newspaper about a
summer job at a restaurant on Mykonos in
Greece. I applied and now I work as a
waitress there. Isn’t it amazing?
Every day I start work at noon
and finish at about ten. I work long hours but I love it! Mykonos is very popular with tourists and in
August the island is full of them. I meet people from all over the world!
My aunt and uncle have got a house on the island, so I’m staying with them. We’re having a great
time. We go swimming every morning. The beaches here are beautiful! After work, I sometimes go
clubbing with my cousins. The music is great and we dance for hours.
At the moment, I’m not working. It’s four o’clock in the afternoon but there aren’t any customers,
so I’m writing you a letter. Would you like to come and visit me? Write back soon and tell me, OK?
Here’s a photo of the island.
