Hi, long time no see. I hope you and your family are well. I´m writing to you from the Hall of the Residence in Oxford. But it is more like a hostel than a residence. Everithing is terrible: the rooms where we sleep are very small for two people and there isn´t enough light to do my homework or study.Also, the rooms are very dirty, so it´s not comfortable. As well as that, I have a snoring flatmate.

You don´t know how difficult it is to sleep all night with him snoring. Sometimes it is really impossible to concentrate on something while he is sleeping. Another problem is that the drains in the shower are clogged. So, you have to have a very fast shower. Because if you don´t, water will floud the room.

My mum told me that next year you are coming here. So I want to give you  some advice. If you can, don´t choose to came to a Hall of Residence. The best thing you can do it is go to a host family. You will be more comfortable and your room will be cleaner.

I cant wait to see you. And please give me some news about you.

Hughs and kisses.
