Reading text

Hi Lucia

How are you? It was so nice to meet you last week in Sydney at the sales meeting. How was the rest of your trip? Did you see any kangaroos? I hope you got home to Mexico City OK.

Anyway, I have the documents about the new Berlin offices. We're going to be open in three months. I moved here from London just last week. They are very nice offices, and the location is perfect. There are lots of restaurants, cafés and banks in the area. There's also public transport; we are next to an U-Bahn (that is the name for the metro here). Maybe you can come and see them one day? I would love to show you Berlin, especially in the winter. You said you have never seen snow – you will see lots here!

Here's a photo of you and me at the restaurant in Sydney. That was a very fun night! Remember the singing Englishman? Crazy! Please send me any other photos you have of that night. Good memories.

Please give me your email address and I will send you the documents.

Bye for now

Mikel

I often use mobile phone to arrange a meeting with my friends. Surely I use whattsap, instagram and also phone calls. Since I got here from my hometown for education, I couldn't meet my old friends directly. It's quite awful to me, because I get used to my old city, I was there over 18 years. If you ask my view about this topic, meeting with friends directly is always more benefical than other ways. Sometimes it's tough to persuade them abot going outside, because all of them have been focused some gadgets. I've always tried to promote them about the beauty of outside. Anyway...

  • Firstly, I don’t make many plans with my friends; however, I do make a lot of plans with my family.
  • The best way to make plans is to relax, enjoy, and spend time together.
