Feedback
This is a very informative answer, Magda. You give your friend a good pictureof the eating habits of Polish people (menu, times, etc). The letter is nicelyorganised and I like the way you achieve a friendly tone at the beginning andend just right for an informal letter.
The (few) language errors are not serious ones and your grammatical controlis very good, particularly in your appropriate use of the present simple tensefor describing (eating) habits.
Well done and I hope you pass your FCE!
