Hi Mum
Life here in New York is exciting!
I have a job in a café in Manhattan. I get up at half past four in the morning every day from Monday to Saturday and I work from half past five until two o’clock in the afternoon.
There are lots of people in the café from six until nine o’clock because the breakfasts here are great! I really like the breakfasts! The sandwiches are also very good and l have lunch there every day.
I have a new friend in New York. His name’s Rex and he’s a taxi driver. He often works at night and he has breakfast in the café at half past five. He always says ‘Coffee and breakfast for dinner, please!’ Then he goes home and he goes to bed!
Email me soon!
Love,
Ivan
