WRITER’S FEELINGS ABOUT THE CHANGE
LIFE IN THE NEW CITY
OPENING REMARKS/REASON(S) FOR WRITING
Dear Jane,
How are you doing? I’m really well, but it’s taken me a while to settle in. It’s been four months now since I moved, so I thought I’d drop you a line to let you know how I’ve been getting on.
Dublin is a really exciting city! There’s always something going on. In fact, there are so many cafes, cinemas, sports facilities and shopping centres that it’s sometimes difficult to decide what to do! There are lots of interesting people here, too. Even though I’ve only been here for a short time, I’ve already made quite a few new friends.
I’m really enjoying life here, but I still miss Ashby from time to time. It’s more industrial here and there are a lot more traffic jams and crowds – I have to be really careful when I’m riding my bike! What I miss most though is my old friends – especially you!
Well, that’s all my news for now. Write back and let me know what you’ve been up to since I last saw you. Say hi to the rest of the gang!
Yours,
Fiona

3) Now we have the time and the money and even technology to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place. We can use ecological cars, filters, recycle garbage.
4) yes, I agree with this statement. Most people understand this global problems and they try to recycle garbage and for example use filters and bicycles)
