Hi Lucia

How are you? It was so nice to meet you last week in Sydney at the sales meeting. How was the rest of your trip? Did you see any kangaroos? I hope you got home to Mexico City OK.

Anyway, I have the documents about the new Berlin offices. We're going to be open in three months. I moved here from London just last week. They are very nice offices, and the location is perfect. There are lots of restaurants, cafés and banks in the area. There's also public transport; we are next to an U-Bahn (that is the name for the metro here). Maybe you can come and see them one day? I would love to show you Berlin, especially in the winter. You said you have never seen snow – you will see lots here!

Here's a photo of you and me at the restaurant in Sydney. That was a very fun night! Remember the singing Englishman? Crazy! Please send me any other photos you have of that night. Good memories.

Please give me your email address and I will send you the documents.

Bye for now

Mikel

Good passage

i usually make plan with my bestie by whats app, if need to talk then we meet and discuss.

I use the phone to contact friends. I prefer to make a call and if there is no answer, I send a message.

I use Whatsapp to discuss plans and send texts to friends. I also use phone calls sometimes.

Travel is such a wonderful experience and meet new people is also a good thing. I want to say thank you for this lesson, I can practice reading and using key word to choose answer. I think next time to meet new people I would ask their information and of course - email. :)

I usually make plans with myself, but sometimes with my friends when we going to planning to trip or party

I always use the Line app to make plans with friends. I sometimes use phone calls, but I never use email for that.
