Dear Aunt Jean,
I
'am just writing to tell you how much I
appreciate the
money you sent me, and tell you how
I'am getting on in my first term at university.
Actually, I
really enjoy myself! I
study quite hard as well,
but at the moment I
am spending a lot of time just making friends.
I'am still staying with my friend Sue, and
I'am looking for somewhere of my own to live. Only a few of the first‐year students
live in the college here, and I
seem to be spending a lot of time traveling backwards and
forwards. I
go to lectures every morning, and most afternoons I
study in the library. In fact
I'am writing this letter instead of an essay on “Hamlet”! I
think I’ll buy some new clothes with the money you sent . Everything
costs a lot here, and
I'am saveing to buy a winter coat. It
gets really cold here in the evenings. I now
know some other students and generally speaking we
have quite a good time socially!
I'am also learning to drive. See you soon.
Katherine
