Dear Oliver,

Dear Talia,

My name’s Maria. I’m from Madrid in Spain. I work for a bank. I speak Spanish and a little English. I like travelling and shopping.

I’d like some more information about the holiday apartment to rent. The description says it’s a big apartment. We’re a group of five friends. How big is it? How many bedrooms are there? Could you send us a photo of the rooms? The description also says the apartment is near the city centre. How far from the centre is it? Can we walk there? If not, are there buses? Could you send me the address? Another question is about food. The apartment is self-catering. Does it have a fridge? And is there a supermarket near the apartment? Finally, I’d like to know about the price and when it’s available. We’d like to rent it in the first or second week of July. Is it available for one of those weeks? And how much does it cost for 7 days?

My husband’s name is Carlos. He’s an engineer. He likes sports and films. We have a daughter called Claudia. She’s ten years old and she studies English at the English Institute too. She likes skiing and playing tennis. I think she speaks English very well. My parents are retired. I have two brothers. My brother is called Felipe. He’s a lawyer and he’s married to Alejandra. They have two daughters called Isabel and Maria Eugenia. My second brother’s name is Fernando. He’s a doctor, and he works in a hospital. He isn’t married. Thank you for your teaching.
