Cari studenti,
Ho capito che siete appena tornati da un
viaggio in Italia. Voglio sapere tutto! Dove
siete andati? Che avete visto? Che ti
piaceva? Che non ti piaceva? Perché? Che
avete mangiato? Volete ritornare? Perché?
Dimmi tutto! Anche, quando tornate a
scuola, ci sarà un’assemblea in cui farete
una presentazione agli studenti e ai
professori sul viaggio. Siate pronti!
Con affetto,
Signora Rolf
