(20 points) Dear Yumi, I am1 finally arrived in England after to wait for 8 hours at the airport in Paris! Paula picked up me from Heathrow and I stay with her for 3 weeks. She sends you her love. I visited the Warwick university yesterday and I absolutely liked it. The campus is on the outskirts of the city centre. Warwick is much bigger than Nantes and it has much more museums and old buildings. You are interesting in art, aren’t you? I am thinking you would love it here. You really should try to visit Paula next year. If you’ll get that job, you’ll be able to come. Anyway, let me know when is your birthday so I can send you a card! Love Patrice CONTINUED TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: LCTE7900 Page 3 1 EXAMPLE CORRECT FORM: It should be ‘I have finally arrived’ because we use the present perfect simple to talk about an
