西藏自治区日喀则市南木林高级中学2019-2020高三英语第8次月考试卷
Dear Irene,
Thanks for your letter of 20th December to Tom and me. Tom's mother sent it to us here in England. I thought I had reply myself since, as you know, your brother is not good at writing letters.
You asked whether Tom's application for a scholarship has been successful. As you can see, it was. He is doing a one-year postgraduate course in world history here at Lancaster University. The house we live in is near the university, we have to buy a used car which is necessary because the bus service here is very poor.
We arrived in England at the beginning of September, and stayed her for three weeks with my cousin Jeff, who owns a restaurant here. This is the first time he had met my husband. Then we went to Cambridge for a week, where Tom had to attend a meeting and after that we came up to Lancaster and hand two weeks to find somewhere to live and generally got organized before Tom's course began.
The weather has been quite a change from home. Last week we had some snow, the first we had ever seen. We went outside and threw snowballs at each other, just like children.
We got on well with most of the English people we have met, although we had some difficulty at first understanding the northern accent.
Well, that's about all our news. Tom's course is going well, and if he passes his exams we will be free to return home in July.
