Postcard

Read the postcard and answer the questions here.

Dear Marina,

How are you? I'm having a wonderful time in Wales. I arrived two days ago. I flew from Madrid to Cardiff and then I took a train to South Wales. The journey was long but interesting. I met some students from Toledo at the airport and we travelled together. The weather is nice today but it's going to rain tomorrow; it's very cloudy. It doesn't matter. I didn't forget my umbrella at home! When we arrived we visited Cardiff, the capital of Wales. It's beautiful with some interesting places and good shops.

Tomorrow my sister Amy and and I are going to go on an activity holiday in the Breacon Beacons. They are mountains in South Wales and they are in one of Wales' three National Parks. There are lots of things to do outdoors on the holiday. I'm going to go horse-riding in the mountains. I can't wait! I mustn't forget my boots. Amy's going to go kayaking on the River Usk, but I'm not. I hate water! We must also remember our raincoats because of the wather. Typical British weather!

Another thing we are going to do is visit National Eisteddfod of Wlaes. Eisteddfod is a Welsh word and an eisteddfod is an annual festival that celebrates Welsh culture - Welsh music, dance, theatre, literature and food. I am going to have laverbread there. It isn't bread; it's seaweed, and the Welsh sometimes eat it for breakfast. Amy isn't going to have any. She thinks it sounds revolting! But I am going to try it!

Lots of love,

Olly

My favourite season of the year is autumn. Why? Well, it's not very hot. In summer it is boiling in my town. I don't like that. In autumn it is usually warm. I like the colours of nature in autumn. It is true that schools begins in autumn but I like to see my friends again after the long summer holidays. 

What is your favourite season? Write a text and tell me.

Next summer I am going to go to the beach with my friends. We are going to sunbathe and swim in the sea. We are going to play on the beach in the mornings and we are going to go shopping in the afternoons. I am going to send postcards to my parents. I am going to buy souvenirs. I am not going to go surfing but I am going to explore the city and visit some museums. I am going to have fun.
