Dear Dimitris, I'm writing my first letter in English, as I promised you. I'm in Oxford now. There are a lot of students from different countries here. We learn English, play sports and have fun together. In your letter you asked me to write about my host family and my new friends. As for my host family, they are really very nice and hospitable people. Their names are Charlotte and Henry, and they have a son, Oliver. Charlotte is a housewife and, like our mum, she takes care of the family and the students who live in her house. She is friendly and tactful. Henry is a firefighter. He has a very good sense of humour and enjoys playing jokes on his son and me. I was surprised to learn that Charlotte and Henry do not speak any foreign languages. So I have to speak English to them. Oliver is a boy of six, he is nice but sometimes naughty. He likes playing football and wants to become a famous football player. I get on well with all the members of my host family. I have made some friends at the English Language School too. We are working hard to improve our English. We learn English in the morning and in the afternoon, but we don't have any homework to do in the evening. Next Saturday we're travelling to London. We are going to spend two days there. We'll be doing sightseeing. I'm looking forward to the trip. I'll write to you about it in my next letter. You can see my life here is wonderful, but I miss my family and Greece. Hugs and kisses to everyone. Best wishes, Kirill
