    Dear David,

    I am having a great time here with my brother in the west of England. I think it is the most interesting place I have ever visited. As you know, my brother is at university here and so I am staying with him. He has been here for three years and he says the town is not the same since he first arrived here and things have changed. He says that when he first came here, it was difficult to get around but over the years that has changed and now they have started new bus routes. As for my news, so far, I have been to the local museum and have learned a lot of things about natural history and wild animals. The paintings in the different rooms were wonderful too. And it didn’t cost anything either. After walking around all the galleries, I had a soft drink and a snack. That was good too. I haven’t bought any souvenirs yet, but perhaps I will get some tomorrow. Anyway, that’s about all for now.

    All the best,

    Pearl
