S G 5 .U.3 WRITING .AN EMAIL

Dear Mom and Dad, It was so nice to hear from you. I think of you all the time, too. You needn’t worry about me because I’m doing fine. 

It was a little difficult for me to adjust at first because everything here is so different. The weather in Toronto is quite cold. It’s about 14°C right now, but they say it can get really cold in the winter. The food is strange, too. The meals at the cafeteria are pretty good, but nothing like Mom’s cooking. This afternoon, we had vegetarian pizza and salad.

The university has quite a large campus. I got lost on the first day, but I managed to ask for directions and made it to class on time. As for my classes, they are really interesting and the teachers are extremely helpful. I have four hours of English every day, so I’m learning quite fast. I still can’t speak very well, but my teachers and classmates usually understand me. By the way, my classmates are very friendly, and I’ve made some new friends. We study together and hang out in the evenings.

Next week, our class is going to visit Niagara Falls. They’ve arranged for a tour guide to show us around. I’m sure it’s going to be fantastic. I’ll send you some photos.

I’m going to the library to study now. So, let’s talk on Skype this Saturday. I miss you! Love, Adnan
