2. Sara, a Portuguese student, wrote a letter
to an English penfriend about her summer. Decide if the statements below are true (T) or false (F). Explain why the false statements are not correct.
Dear Anne, Thank you very much for your letter. You ask me about my summer. Well, this summer was amazing.10 out of 10. In July, when my parents decided to enroll me at a language school, I thought I might die although I knew my English was terrible. But then, after a first day full of anxiety and fear, I loved it. The summer school was great. There were students from all over the world. There was a pool, a football field and a tennis court. Inside, the building was very modern. There were rooms equipped with laptops and interactive boards. There was a big library and a games room, where we could also watch TV. You may ask: Why so many sports and games in a language school? The answer is easy. The lessons were only in the morning. In the afternoon we played lots of games and visited some local attractions. But I had to speak English all the time. You can see that it really improved a lot… Tell me more about your visit to Athens. Did you like it? I look forward to your next letter. Love, Sara
