Hi Rosie
Thanks for your email. Here’s more news from us in Montreal. It’s snowing here and
the view from the window is beautiful. Of course, it’s very cold but that’s normal for
winter in Canada. What’s the weather like in London?
James is working in Toronto at the moment but just for one week. He usually works
in an office here in Montreal. His new job is great and he’s really happy. I am still
looking for work but I’m happy too. I take the dog for a walk, do some housework or
go shopping and I send a lot of emails! I’m going to an Italian cookery class on
Tuesdays and I can cook a lot of different pasta dishes now. I’m also free to help
Jessica with all her school work.
Montreal East High School is really different from Jessica’s school in London and
she has a lot of homework every day. She’s happy because she can walk to school
here – it’s near our house – and she sometimes comes home for lunch. She is on
the basketball team and knows a lot of girls from playing sport.
Harrison is eighteen now. He’s doing a business course at university and he’s also
studying French twice a week in the evenings. He can speak it quite well now and
that’s good because a lot of people speak French here and some of his university
course is in French. He studies hard and I think he feels quite stressed sometimes.
He still lives in our house but he’s thinking about moving into a flat with some friends
in the summer.
I’d love to see you, so yes, let’s plan your visit in May. My Canadian friends say that
the weather is quite sunny and warm here in spring. We can do a walking tour of Old
Montreal or go to the Botanical Gardens. How long can you stay?
Write back soon!
Charlotte
Example: James doesn’t like his new job.
