MY COUSIN IS COMING
Hi Dean,
How are you? I‟m fine. My news is that my
cousin Paul is arriving tomorrow. He lives in
Adelaide in Australia. This summer he is spending
a month in Cambridge. He‟s going to work for a
study center here, doing some research or
something. I think he‟s a scientist or economist –
anyway, it‟s something boring.
He‟s arriving at Heathrow airport at 7.30
a.m. and I‟m going to meet him. Then he‟s
staying at my house for a few days. I think he will
stay in my room because Phyllis won’t let him
have her room. It‟s a real nuisance!
When he gets here, I‟ll have to spend a lot
of time with him showing him around Cambridge.
I think I will show him a lot of historical
buildings. If he‟s boring, I‟ll introduce him to my
friend John. He‟s the most boring person in the
world! I‟m in a hurry now, so – bye for now!
