Subject: Hello from Edinburgh!

Dear Aleks,

This is my second month in Edinburgh — can you believe it? I love it here. I’m so happy I decided to go to university in Scotland.

Life is very different here. I share an apartment (公寓) with two other students. Each day I get up at around 7:30 am and walk to the university alone. On the way I eat breakfast in a coffee shop. At university I have classes all morning. My classmates come from all over the world — there are lots of Chinese and Nigerian people. We all have lunch together in the dining hall — usually sandwiches. In the afternoon I read books in the library. In the evening I go to the cinema or go for a walk around the town with my classmates, except on Fridays and Saturdays, when I wash the dishes at an Italian restaurant. I’m even learning some Italian!

I miss living at home, especially Mum’s cooking and your jokes. Edinburgh is very small compared with our city Toronto in Canada. And it’s cold, even in summer!

I miss you, little brother — write soon!

Yours,

Stan

Elsie Comer is nearly 92， but she can still play a game of Words with Friends on her iPad and claims (宣称)　 that the Apple product has changed her life.

Mrs. Comer， who lives in a house close to Manchester Airport. admits(承认) to playing the hugely popular puzzle game at a time. and also uses her iPad to track the planes that fly overhead and explore the world with Google Earth.

"It's been a wonderful way to keep in touch with my family， " she said. "I use it nearly all the hours of daylight. 2-3 hours in the morning. then again in the afternoon.

" I live near the airport， so I love being able to look at the Flight Tracker and see where the planes that fly overhead are going. I also really like Words with Friends，and have 16 games going at the moment.

Mrs. Comer taught painting when she left school. She did own a laptop, but struggled(费力 ) with it. “She had a laptop before， but the problem was that she couldn't see the cursor(光标) . And that she also has shaky hands that struggle with the mouse.” said her 63-year-old daughter， Jean Holt ， from Citheroe, “I was in America visiting my daughter. and I played with an iPad and decided to buy one for my mother.”

Mrs. Holt loaded the iPad with apps(应用程序) gradually so her mother could learn how to use them. "She uses it several hours a day， and is determined (决定) to keep up with everything new. So she reads the news， sends emails， and uses FaceTime to make video calls to us all." she said.
