Dear Mark and Martha. Hopping my letter finds both of you in good condition. After our extremely awesome trip to your home, Nicki get sick and I was looking after the children. Now she is better, I found some time to get in touch with you.

Firstly

, we both want to thank you for the hospitality, and the great catch-up we had together. It had been a long time, since our

last

get-together. The excursions you had arranged for us were all amazing, as I can see and for the photos you took and sent us. Our nights in your yard will be unforgettable. The memories from our years as students in college were slightly forgotten. So many beautiful pictures came out again.

Secondly

, we invite you and Martha, to spend the Christmas Holidays here in Boston. We will be very happy to have you two here, reciprocate your hospitality and refresh our memories once again. Let us know if you can come. Looking forward to your news. Yours' Cas and Nicki

Most young people without a partner would prefer to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Yet being in a relationship when you are young is not always a good idea. As part of a class project, write about whether you agree or disagree. Give reasons for your choices.
Nowadays, there are numerous young people who wants to have a boyfriend and a girlfriend. However, being in a relationship is not always a good choice. As such, there are merits and demerits to this idea, although I opine that its demerits outweigh the merits. I completely disagree to this idea, because having relationship in such of young age will bring numerous demerits on children life. They will not focus on their study.

This has led people to create two groups, one who so supports the host country, that should accept diverse cultures for those visitors while the other group believes that the tourists should explore and follow local customs and traditions. I support the second statement.

Many of today’s urgent problems can only be solved through international corporation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
