I feel very excited at the thought that in another week I’ll be with you again on holiday.
36 My host and my fellow-students are all very nice to me, but as they say in England, “There’s no place like home”, and I think you will feel this above all at Christmas time.
I’m leaving here early on Thursday, the 23rd, and I’ll be arriving in Paris on Friday
morning. 37 Please meet me at the station. In some of my earlier letters I have told you all about the other students here. 38 Because he has no friends in England except me. He is a very nice boy. I know you will like him and I feel sure he will enjoy Christmas with us. 39 Please let me know soon if that’s all right. I’ve got some Christmas presents for you all, but I’m not going to tell you what they are, so it will be a surprise.
40 I hope you are all keeping well. See that father always puts on his big coat when he goes out so that he will not catch a cold. We don’t want him ill for
Christmas.
A. I will have him spend Christmas with us.
B. But I haven’t invited him yet.
C. I enjoy my stay in England very much indeed.
D. How are you all at home?
E. So I’ll be home about lunch time.
F. Well, I want to ask my Canadian friend, Jan, to come and spend Christmas.
G. Things at home are much better than things in other places.
