Hello John,
How are things? Do you still play tennis? I've just started school and I'm going pretty well. Sorry for the delay. I've been busy with my trainings.

Guess what! I've got some great news! Last weekend me, my sister and my parents visited the United Kingdom because my mother had a conference there. The first day, when my mother was at the conference we visited London and the second day, we went all 4 to Birmingham.

My other news are that in London, we met a friend who was studying there, he showed us interesting things of the city and we had lunch together. It was a very good experience and I enjoyed it a lot.
Anyway, How are things at your school? Do you like it? I have to go because the dinner is ready.
Looking forward to meet again,

Aiman

There are a lot of tou r ists, but the city was very good . On Wednesday, we went to Florence. It's a city with a lot of historic buildings. We visited Santa Maria del Fiore, an impressive cathedral, builded by Brunelleschi. Then we went to have dinner and finally to the hotel. On Thursday we visited Florence, too.
