8 Lisa has just moved into a new flat. Complete the email with the sentences
below.
Hi Ben
How are you and how are the children? (0) _____b_______ I cant believe its
September and Ive already been here for a month. Im sorry its taken so long to write
to you but I had to wait for my computer to be connected to the Internet. (1)
_____________________________________
I cant remember if youve been to Prague before but I can honestly say that its one of
the most beautiful cities Ive ever seen. (2) _______________________________
Although the centre is touristy, there are lots of green spaces so it doesnt feel too
crowded and of course theres a river as well so that gives you a sense of space.
I decided to wait until I got here before looking for somewhere to live because I wanted
to get an idea of what the different neighbourhoods were like. I think its hard to make a
decision without seeing a place first so I spent a couple of weeks with Jana when I first
arrived and was lucky to find a small apartment in a residential area near the city centre.
(3) ___________________________ As you know, I really enjoy going out in the
evenings so this is ideal because I can walk home most of the time and its only a couple
of stops on the tram or metro.
The flats on the fourth floor with a great view over an enormous square. At night its
pretty quiet but during the day the squares always bustling with lots of people. There
are lots of traditional street cafs and bars so theres a great atmosphere and I often go
downstairs to have a coffee and read the paper. (4) _______________
Ive got two bedrooms as well as a large living room so you must come and stay. (5)
______________________________________ Ive already discovered lots of
interesting places so therell be plenty for you to do.
Write soon and let me know your news.
Love
