Dear Linda, How are you getting along? I hope things are going well with you too. Your letter got to me at the end of last moth. Maybe it was delayed on the way I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t answer you on time. For these days I have been busy preparing for an exam. From your letter, I know you like your work very much, but you don¡¯t like New York. I think you¡¯ve spent all your time on your job. You should go to see some films, visit some museums, and do some shopping in your spare time. Thank you for your invitation. But I¡¯m very sorry that I can¡¯t come to spend Christmas with you, because my aunt said she would come to my house on that day. By the way, can you come here to spend the holidays with us? Please give my best regards to your parents. Yours, Lois
