  1.  Read the text.

 Sarah Miller is in New York. She is writing a letter to her best friend.

Dear Sophia,

How are you? How is London? I am having a very good time in New York.
It’s Sunday and it’s sunny and warm. Now it’s ten in the morning and we are in Central Park. I am sitting under a tree, I am listening to my radio… and I am writing to you, of course.
My Canadian cousin, Rosemary, is here with us. She is reading a comic. She’s very pretty. She’s tall and slim and she has got long wavy brown hair. Her parents are in Toronto.
 My father is reading The New York Times, an American newspaper. My mother is playing with my little brother Jimmy on the grass and they are eating popcorn.

There are many people in the park. Some men are jogging, two girls are walking their dogs, and an old man is skating! And he can do that quiet well.

We often come to this fantastic park, in this wonderful city because we relax here. But sometimes we visit other interesting places: museums, shops… New York is great! There are many fantastic skycrapers and there are people everywhere!                                                                                                                    
                        

 Love, Sarah
