Dear Matthew,
I received your postcard yesterday. I had just got home when I saw it on my
desk. What a nice surprise! I showed to Jenny as soon as I saw her. Do you know that
she moved with John to a small flat near Picadilly? They have been together since we
were at school. Do you remember?
I had my driving test yesterday. I was quite nervous, but I passed it and I`m so happy
now. I promise I'll visit you next summer.
How about you? Did you decide about your studies next year? The last time
I spoke to you, you were not sure whether to choose Biology or Physics. Both sound too
difficult to me. You know, I have never liked science very much. Anyway, I think
I took the right choice studying Journalism.
I hope to see you very soon,
Lucy
