(20 points) Dear Martha, I hope you are well. I stay1 in London at the moment with my friend Max. He lives in the beautiful house near UCL. I have been here since two weeks and I like it a lot. Max isn’t here because he’s been to Milan to stay with his aunt. Do you remember when did we went to Italy? I remember I must buy lots of new clothes because my suitcase has been stolen at the airport. I have still most of them now. But we had such good fun on that holiday. London is a great city although the place which I’m staying isn’t very nice. My flat in Milan is much more beautiful. I am very exciting because I’m going to Scotland next weekend. The ticket only cost £10.00. I will send you a postcard when I get there. I hope speak to you soon. Love Yuki CONTINUED TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: LCTE7900 Page 3 1 EXAMPLE CORRECT FORM: It should be ‘I am staying in London at the moment’ because we use the present continuous not the present simple to talk about actions which are happening at the time of speaking and which are temporary.
