Reading text

Hi Lucia

How are you? It was so nice to meet you last week in Sydney at the sales meeting. How was the rest of your trip? Did you see any kangaroos? I hope you got home to Mexico City OK.

Anyway, I have the documents about the new Berlin offices. We're going to be open in three months. I moved here from London just last week. They are very nice offices, and the location is perfect. There are lots of restaurants, cafés and banks in the area. There's also public transport; we are next to an U-Bahn (that is the name for the metro here). Maybe you can come and see them one day? I would love to show you Berlin, especially in the winter. You said you have never seen snow – you will see lots here!

Here's a photo of you and me at the restaurant in Sydney. That was a very fun night! Remember the singing Englishman? Crazy! Please send me any other photos you have of that night. Good memories.

Please give me your email address and I will send you the documents.

Bye for now

Mikel

Making plan is very important thing in our life. And for doing this, we need good understanding about the thing we are going to plan.

So, I usually make plans with my friends face to face. But he or she is out of my area and not able to come to me at that time, I do it via phone call or messenger or whatsapp.

I do make discussions with friends face to face and sometimes by phone, because I don't like using E-mail too much unless in official matters.

As most of my friends are usually use social aplication like whatsapp or telegram, I preffer to make plan with them by this way. It's more comfortable and more effectively.

I usually use the line app to contact with my friends. It is very convenient for me to contact them immediately.
