Dear Pete,

I’ve been traveling in the Northern Territory for a week. I started my journey in Alice Springs.

Alice Springs was really disappointing. I saw only Ayers Rock from the plane but I’d go back some day to see it properly. I am in Darwin now and I’ll send you another postcard next week from the Great Barrier Reef.

See you soon,

Tony

The first person I enterviewed was Deanne from Portland, Oregon, USA. She said she was in London and she had a great time. She didn’t want to leave.

Then I spoke to Karin. She thought that English boys were so unemotional, but they were quite friendly. Manuela said that they didn’t like the grey river but they loved the street life of the capital.

Than I spoke to Yin Wing, Wng Hsiao Mei and Ho Wing Yan from Hong Kong, China. They said that they had been learning English for seven years but they hadn’t been to England before. Justin and Greer from South Africa told me that they were hoping to find jobs there. But they hadn’t made up their minds how long they would stay.
