Dear Philippe

How are you? I didn‘t see1 you for ages and I miss you a lot. I love living in London and my life is very

excited at the moment because I have finished my exams. Just think, before two weeks I was spending

all my time to study but now I am free! London is so beautiful city. Last week, I was going sightseeing

five times. I went to the Buckingham Palace, the Natural History Museum and the Tate Gallery. I think

of you a lot because always I am getting lost on the tube. It remembers me of when we got lost in

Paris. You can remember? It was so embarrassing when we must to ask the policeman for directions!

Please write to me soon and tell me your news.

Love Miriam

1 EXAMPLE CORRECT FORM: It should be ‘I haven’t seen you for ages’ because we use the present perfect simple to talk about an indefinite time up to the present.
