Hi Bill,

How are you doing?  I miss home and you!

The place where we live is beautiful. The beaches are lovely with white sand. The only thing I am not happy about is the food.

 I will tell you everything about my holiday when I see you!

Your friend

Rhonda

Dear Sir or Madam,

INFORMATION ABOUT TECHNICAL EDUCATION

I have heard about your college from my cousin Linda Hansen who spent last year in Michigan.

I am a 16-year-old Norwegian boy in my first year of Upper Secondary School. I would like to spend a year abroad, and understand that you accept foreign students.

I have always been interested in technology, and would like to know more about your courses. I would be very grateful if you would send me some information on courses, subjects, expenses and accommodation.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Stein Hansen
