Hi Leyla,
1
Greetings from Rome! I'm on a school trip here. We arrived
yesterday and are staying in a lovely hotel in the city centre. It's near
all the tourist attractions. The weather is warm and sunny! It's a bit
chilly at night but that's OK.

Yesterday, we were all tired after our flight, so we slept a lot. Now, we are all looking forward to visiting
the city. This afternoon, we're going on a walking tour. First, we're going to the Colosseum and then
we're walking up the Palatine Hill. Our teacher is taking us to a famous café afterwards. I can't wait!
Tomorrow morning, we're going to visit the Pantheon, an ancient temple, and in the afternoon we're
3
going to visit the Pasta Museum. It's going to be a great weekend.
4 I've got to go now. See you when I get back.
Love,
Zhanat
