Dear Sofía
I am really happy that you are going to visit London. I was born
there! You really should go in the summer because the weather is
usually better then. The zoo is worth visiting. The architecture is
as amazing as the animals! I really recommend the elephant
house because the building is very impressive. If you like good
food, I really recommend that you try “scones ” with the “five
o´clock tea”. How long do you plan to stay in this city ? If you
have time please send me a postcard!
