Dear Olga,

Thank you for your last email. I loved to learn about your city. In this letter I'm going to tell you
about my holiday plans.

I'm really excited about my summer plans because my parents are taking me to New York!! We
are leaving on 12th July and we have great plans. First, we are going to visit the Metropolitan
Museum in New York City. I don't like museums in general, but this is really special. We are also
going to go sightseeing and we are going to visit the statue of Liberty and the Empire State
Building. Then we are going to the Great Lakes to do some scuba diving. Finally, we are going to
Niagara Falls. That's an enormous waterfall. Part of it is in the USA and part of it is in Canada. It's
amazing!

I'm going to need a big suitcase because I need to pack my summer clothes, shorts and T-shirts
mainly, but I will also need my swimsuit, my flip flops, and some jumpers or cardigans because it
might be cooler at night and by the Niagara Falls!

When we come back from New York, I'm going to go to the beach with my family. We usually go to
Matalascañas. I have lots of friends there so it'll be a lot of fun!!

I can't wait for the summer!! What are you planning to do?

I hope next year we can keep in touch. Have a nice summer vacation!!!

Kind regards,
Isabel
