Dear Alice, Hi! I'm on holiday in London. I (stay)am staying with my friend, Jane. She (live)lives in the centre of London, near Hyde Park. I (be)have been here since Saturday and I (already, do)have already done lots of things. I visit)have visited the Tower of London, the British Museum and Madam Tussaud's. I (go)went to Madam Tussaud's on Monday. It (be)was terrible. When I (enter)entered the Chamber of Horrors, I (scream)screamed . Yesterday Jane and I (go)went shopping. I (want)wanted to buy some souvenirs. But while I (pay)was paying for a T-shirt, someone (steal)stole my bag. Luckily, I (spend, already) had spent nearly all my money. There (be)are a lot of things I (not, do)haven't done yet. I (not, be)haven't been on a boat trip down the Thames yet, I (not, see)haven't seen the Millennium Dome. If the weather (be)is fine tomorrow, I (go)will go on a boat trip. I hope Jane (can)will be able to keep me company. I (like)like London very much. I (never, see)have never seen such a beautiful city. You (must)must visit it some day. I (be)will be back in a week, so I (call)will call you than. Love, Ann.
