Mail

To a travel agency in England.

Dear Mr. Michael,

I’m an Italian student, I come from the north-east of Italy and I would like to go to the Cambridge college and stay here for 3 weeks, I would like to have an English course. I can come to England during the summer months. I’m at level B1 and I want to improve the use of the verb tenses and the other rules of the grammar. Could you send to my e-mail address the duration of the course and how much does it cost?

Your sincerely. Francesco Basso
