Dear Mrs. Thompson, Thank you very much for the letter which I have received yesterday. I am cherished that I have won the prize. I would like to go to San Francisco because I never have been to the USA before. However, there are several questions I would like to ask. First of all, I would like to know whether the return flights us a direct or indirect flight. I would like to book a direct flight because it is much more convenient and comfortable. In addition, I would like to know how many hours a day it takes to study and if there are classes in the morning or the afternoon. You wrote about free accommodation with a family. I wonder the meals are included and if I have the opportunity to cook by myself? Finally, I would like to ask you if it is possible to stay for an extra week. If it is possible, please let me know the price I have to pay. I am truly grateful for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely,
