A friend of yours, Allen, who has been living in another country for some time, is going to visit you for a week. Write a letter suggesting what you might do together and what sights you might visit. Sign your letter with the name Tom. (250 words)
Dear Allen, I’m writing you because I want to tell you about my plans for the next month when you will come here. I already made a schedule for us and I hope that you will enjoy it. We will visit the main sights from Constanta: Ovidiu’s Square- designed by the sculptor Ettore Ferrari in 1887, the statue dedicated to the Roman poet, Publius Ovidius Naso, gives name to this square. The Roman Mosaics - a vast complex on three levels once linked the upper town to the harbor. Today, only about a third of the original edifice remains, including more than 9,150 sq ft of colorful mosaics. The Genoese Lighthouse - soaring 26 feet, this lighthouse was built in 1860 by the Danubius and Black Sea Company to honor Genoese merchants who established a flourishing sea trade community here in the 13th century. The Casino - completed between the two World Wars in art nouveau style according to the plans of the architects, Daniel Renard and Petre Antonescu, the Casino features sumptuous architecture and a wonderful view of the sea. The House with Lions - blending pre-Romantic and Genovese architectural styles, this late 19th century building features four columns adorned with imposing sculptured lions. The Fantasio Theatre - built in 1927 by Demostene Tranulis, a local philanthropist of Greek origin, this theatre used to be called “Tranulis” before 1947, after the name of its benefactor. This is just a part of our schedule and I hope I made you curious. I can’t wait your arrive. Love,Tom.
