Dear Yoshiko,
I`m sorry I haven`t written to you since so long. I receive your letter six weeks ago but I`ve been very busy. As you probably know I`m in Scotland since December. I come here mainly to learn English.
At first it is a bit difficult because I didn`t speak English well. But now life was much easier.
A few weeks ago I`ve gone to a disco I meet a Scottish man called Derek. He want that I teach him Spanish. As you can imagine, this is excellent for my English!
I have moved into a larger flat and had decided to stay here at least a year. Have you ever gone to Scotland? If not, why don`t you come and visit me before you will go back to Japan? Please write again soon and say yes.
With love,
