Tucson, 5-th May

Dear Greta.

Well, here we are in Arizona. This is a picture of our motorhome! It's not very big but it's got a big bed over the driver's cabin for Sev and me, and two little beds in the sitting room for the chil­dren. The beds are our sofas during the day, and we've got a tiny dining space with a table and some chairs. There's a nice little kitchen with a stove and some cupboards, and we've even got some plants, over the sink. There isn't a bath, but we've got a good shower - and a toilet of course. It's almost like home! Now for Texas! See you in July.

Lots of love from Julie, Sev, Lucy, James.

eg. a shower eg. a bath

Compare your lists with other students. Are motorhomes popular in your country? Are they good for long holidays? Are they good for two people or for a family?
