Hola Jenny,
¿Como estás? ¿Has pasado un buen fin de semana?
Yo me lo he pasado increíblemente bien. El sábado por la mañana tuve un partido de baloncesto, (¡que ganamos!), y por la tarde fui de compras con mis amigas. El domingo por la mañana me quedé en casa haciendo los deberes y por la tarde fui a un ensayo con mi orquesta. Me habría gustado ir al cine a ver la última película de James Bond, pero no tuve tiempo…
¿Tu que has hecho este fin de semana? ¡Explícame todo!
¡Muchos besos!
Laura

Hi Laura,
Your weekend seems awesome!
I wish I had had such a fun time. Unfortunately, I am in the middle of my end of year exams and I had to revise for most of the weekend. I wish I could’ve hung out with my friends instead of studying!! ☹ ☹
Nevertheless, I managed to watch a bit of Netflix and do some rowing on the Thames. I need to practise every morning as I have lots of regattas coming up.
Oh well. I guess it will all be worth it when I get my results.
Love,
Jenny xx
