Dear Susan,

Sorry I haven't written for so long but I've been really busy recently studying for my exams. It was great to get your letter and hear all your news, especially the part about you and your parents coming to visit in September.

The weather is still fairly warm, then so we should be able to spend quite a bit of time at the beach. I think your parents will really enjoy the city, particularly the old town. The music festival will be on then so we shall take full advantage of that as well.

You asked what clothes you should bring. You will be fine with light summer dresses, skirt and trousers and a sweater or jacket for evenings, which can be rather cool. Don't forget to pack you swimming costumes! It will still be warm enough to swim.

I'd better go and get on with my exam preparation. I hope your exams go well too and that you have a lovely summer. I'm really looking forward to seeing you in September!

All the best,
Anna
