A letter to a friend Dear Elena, How are you? Thanks a lot for your last letter asking about coming to Millwall College. I really appreciate the idea of improving your English in this way. Don’t be afraid because you won’t be lonely at all. I’m sure you’ll make plenty of friends in a few days. When I came here for the first time I was also worried about loneliness but it turned out to be unnecessary. I made a brilliant friend on the first day of my stay! Her name is Luiza and we’ve been living in the same room from the beginning. She’s a wonderful person. I love chatting with her and listening to her witty jokes. That brings me to free time. We get plenty of it, by the way, and I’ve already visited a few interesting places near our college. A week ago Luiza and I joined also dancing classes. We go there almost every evening and enjoy ourselves. Don’t worry that it’s your summer holiday. You’ll have enough free time to relax in a proper way. When it comes to your last worry, I must admit that college is quite expensive but we’ve got professional teachers here. One of them is Maria who I have lessons with. She’s taught in different schools, so she’s pretty experienced. What’s more, she’s also travelled a lot and she’s told us a lot about life in different countries where people speak English. Take up this course at my college. I’m sure you won’t regret it! Best wishes, Julia
