2. Respond to the following letter from your English friend: Dear Maria, Thank you so much for letting me stay in Barcelona last month. I had a great time. You mentioned that you wanted to come to London for a while to study. Do you know how long you will be coming for and what you’d like to study? It would be great if you came in the summer. We could even go camping in the south of England and I could show you that we have beaches too! Or would you prefer hiking in Scotland? I’d also like to ask you if you’d be interested in sharing a flat with some friends of mine. If so, I could talk to them about it. I know that they would like to have a new flatmate. Write soon and let me know your plans. I’m so happy you’re coming! All the best, Sally.
