writing a letter
You have recently visited a famous museum in London. Write to your American sister-in-law, and tell her what you found interesting in the place. (120-150 words)
ps: yeah, I know,I've definitely written more than 150 words.
Dear Christina,
It took me some time but I finally got round to writing you a letter to tell you how we’re spending our holidays.
It’s been only a couple of days since we arrived here in London, but your brother and I have already visited a lot of stunning places around the city. You definitely know how I am so keen on art and history, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to you that the first thing I wanted to see were the amazing collections of the British Museum. Oh, you should have seen how many ancient books and manuscripts were there.
However, I was completely awe-struck by the Rosetta Stone: I didn’t even know it was kept there until I saw it while I was walking through the other Egyptian artefacts.
I’m in a real hurry now, because Davis wants to take me to some restaurant he had found earlier on the guidebook, but let me just tell you how much we miss you all. I can’t wait to tell you more about our trip.
Hope to hear from you very soon.
Lots of love,
Sabrina

Sabrina, I'm sure you already know that this is really great. Just remember that the semi-colon is preferred for two sentences that are linked by their content/context. The colon is generally for introducing lists, conclusions and amplification of a point. It allows less flow than a comma or a semi-colon.

Dear Christina,
It took me some time but I finally got round to writing you a letter to tell you how we’re spending our holidays.
It’s been only a couple of days since we arrived here in London, but your brother and I have already visited a lot of breathtaking places around the city. You definitely know how I am so keen on art and history, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to you that the first thing I wanted to see was the amazing collection of the British Museum. You won't believe it, how many ancient books and manuscripts were there.
However, one piece of ornament that I truly found awe-inspiring was the Rosetta Stone. I didn’t even know it was kept there until I saw it while I was walking by the other Egyptian artifacts.

It all good. Just a few things here and there. Stunning is a neutral adjective but it is usually employed when describing a person.
