5. A postcard from Greece. The following postcard letter describes Helen’s holiday in a foreign country. Read the text and complete the exercises below. Dear James, This vacation is wonderful. I arrived by ship to the island. The island is beautiful and the weather is hot and sunny every day. I arrived on Saturday morning and I went to Agios Sostis beach. I took a long swim and then I sunbathed until noon. Next, I had lunch at a tavern on the beach. Also, I met some boys from Romania and we played volleyball with some of the local people. They are all very friendly. In addition, I loved the hotel because it is fantastic, very modern, and it also has a pool. I liked the town, I walked around and took some photos. Then, I went to Delos to visit the ancient ruins. Finally, I went shopping yesterday and I bought you a nice present.
