Dear Mary,

Thanks a lot for your letter. It was great to hear from you again!

First of all, let me tell you about my one-week holiday in Rome. Everything was OK, but we did not like our hotel. It was too noisy and the food was awful. We even had a stomach ache and consulted a doctor. However, all the excursions were extremely interesting. We visited the Vatican and were impressed by the famous St. Peter’s Cathedral. It is the biggest and most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen. All in all, we enjoyed our holiday.

And what about you? What are your plans for the summer? Will you come to visit me? What Russian cities would you like to see? I will show you lots of interesting places.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Lots of love,

Lucy.
