Everything is fine here. I arrived in New York last month and I moved in to my new apartment. It’s got one bedroom, a big living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. There’s a small terrace. I started my new job three weeks ago. The office is in Manhattan on the thirteenth floor of a huge building! My new colleagues are very friendly and my work is interesting. We all work very hard – we start at eight in the morning and we usually finish at seven in the evening. My only free time is at the weekend! What is your new house like? Has it got a garden? Write to me soon and tell me all your news. Love, Diana
