LETTER FROM BRITAIN

I received another letter from my daughter, Rose, today in which she tells us all about her first impressions of living and studying in Britain. The first thing she _____________________ in the letter is that she _____________________ settling down quite nicely. After the first day she had complained that the weather _____________________cold and the people _____________________ unfriendly. Indeed, she wondered why _____________________ always seemed to be dark and _____________________ the British ever saw the sunshine. In _____________________ letter she says she ________________ enjoying studying drama at the university but still finds the social life a bit boring. I _____________________ her before she left not to expect life to be as exciting as _____________________ is here. I explained _____________________most pubs close at about eleven and _____________________ go home, usually a bit drunk. Rosie had told _____________________ in her first letter that she _____________________ made friends with someone from Spain. We ________________ pleased to hear that and in fact I had advised her to make as many friends as she _____________________ because I believed it _____________________ the best way of not feeling lonely and overcoming culture shock.
