Hi Chris,

How is everything in Dublin? The holidays are coming up and I'm already making plans for it. What about you?

What are your favourite places to visit in Europe? Dublin is very nice too, of course. What makes it such a popular destination do you think? My favourite spot is Cornwall. Although it's in England, you can find wonderful beaches and coves there. There even are palm trees! At the coast there are lots of water sports opportunities. It's really great there.

Have you already made up your mind where to go on holiday? Please, let me know.

Bye, Trisha
