Dear Leo,

I was very glad to hear from you, as it has been almost a year since you left.

I am beginning the second week of my winter break. I go out with my friends every other day or they come to see me. On Wednesday I went to the new plaza that has just opened. It was great, as there were famous fitness champions followed by dancers who performed for the public at the opening celebration. The "Crazy Dance Show" team was the most impressive, and the dancers were really terrific.

My father broke his leg last week and now he can walk only with crutches. Regrettably, there is other bad news. Can you still remember Paul, who was Tina's boyfriend? Two months ago he was killed in an accident caused by a reckless driver. His neighbour told me about it. We could not stop crying for a long time. I must tell you about it because you were classmates. Mike's brother, Harry came back from Britain on Sunday. He asked me to go skiing in Austria. My parents let me go there, so in the next letter I will tell you about our stay in Salzburg and skiing on Sonnblick.

I have only one more week of my winter holidays. As you can see, I must be back at school quite soon. When I return from Salzburg, I want to go to the cinema and see the new super film. Harry and I have an invitation to the party tonight. There are going to be all of our friends.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours with love,

Ola
