13 rue Pigalle

Montmartre, Paris

August 23^rd 2009

DearJohn,

I’ve missed you very much. I’ve been lonely this week because I haven’t seen you for a month. I’ve learnt a lot of French this week … I’ve worked hard. I haven’t been out too much. Last night I had to do a lot of homework, and I’m tired today.

Paris is smaller than London, but it is more interesting. I think it’s the best city I’ve ever been to. There’s too much traffic and there aren’t enough restaurants with English food, but I like it. All of my teachers are very nice, and none of them speak English to me. … so I have to speak French.

Anyway, I must finish now. I’ll write again soon … I promise.

All my love, Mary ×××
