Hi Peter,
How are you? I hope you're OK. I'm writing to you
from my new room.
Our new flat is just gorgeous. It is on the third floor
of a five-storey block of flats. It's got a great view
of the park from the balcony. The neighbourhood
is really nice and quiet with a few shops. Our block
of flats is next to a baker's and a florist's. There's
also a supermarket and a café nearby but the
isn't a cinema. Everyone here is friendly. I've got
some new friends. We go to school together. My
new school is a 10-minute walk from home.
Anyway, I've got to go now. Dad needs some help.
Talk to you later,
Andrew​
