Dear Karina, How are you? Do you have some news about holiday trip? As for me, I have an awful news about my holidays so I need your advice about that matter. As you know I finished my course at school pretty good and I thought that I earned some holidays, but unfortunately my parents had thought in different way. They told me that I have to prepare for the exams instead of going on holidays. Can you believe it? I tried to persuade them, I tried to beg them, I promised that I would pass my exams just excellently, but they wouldn'tdidn't budge(?). I don't know what to do, I just want to go on my holidays with you. Please tell me how you persuaded your parents and give me some advice what I shoud do in this situation? I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Lots of love, Tanya

Please check my letter:)

Dear Karina,
How are you? How was your holiday? I have received some awful news about my holiday, so I need your advice on the matter.
As you know I have finished my course at school with pretty good results and I thought that I had earned some holidays, however my parents have thought differently. They have told me that I must prepare for the exams instead of going away on my holidays. Can you believe it? I tried to persuade them, I've begged them, I have promised that I would pass my exams with excellent results, but they wouldn't budge on the matter. I don't know what to do now, I just want to go on my holidays with you.
Could you please enlighten me on how you persuaded your parents and give me some advice about what I should do in this situation?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Lots of love,
Tanya
