Complete John’s letter with:
small big expensive best cheapest beautiful
August 16
Dear Sally and Liz,
I have some good news for you. I found a place for us to live in Ha Noi. There are some beautiful apartments here. Some are cheap but a lot are expensive. Luckily the nicest apartment is also the cheapest. It has great bedrooms and a large bathroom. The living room is rather small but the kitchen is big, so we will eat our meals there.
I think this is the best apartment for us because it is near the city center.
I will write again soon with more news.
I hope you’re both well.
Love,
John
