• Hello John,
• How is life? Guess what ! I was accepted by the university of Brighton , so I’m
coming to study in the UK, too. However, I’m still trying to get organised and I
have got a few questions for you.
• As I don’t want to live on campus , I’ll have to rent a place of my own. Which area
do you consider convenient ? I’m also thinking about bringing my bike. Do you
think it’s safe to travel by bike in the city?
• And can you tell me if there are any good places to ride it in my spare time?
• Thanks for your help!
• Bye for now,
• Gary
