Dear ___,
I’m writing this letter to tell you that I’ve just returned from a trip to Australia with my family.
We flew to Melbourne and stayed in a hotel in the center of the city.
In there, we visited a lot of interesting places, such as museums, Vitoria Square, and Footscray Market.
The view of Melbourne was fantastic and romantic.
But the most exciting thing for me was visiting Philip Island.
I could see a lot of penguins there. The food in Melbourne was quite good.
I especially felt excited about the Chinese food when we visited Chinatown in Australia.
