Read  The Text Carefully

Dear Tiara

I’m so glad knowing that you will come here next holiday. It’s been almost two years we haven’t met each other since our graduation. I miss you so much.

Any way, we have a new park. It is a beautiful place to hang out with friends and family. If you come here, I will take you there.

You said you would go by train. However, I don’t know when you will come here exactly. Please tell me the time, so I can pick you up at the railway station.

O.K, that’s all for you now. Please reply soon. Send my love to your parents.

Love

Donita
