I hope you’re 1) well. I’m in Hollywood! Everywhere I go I see actors that I recognise because this is where many of the 2) most famous stars live. I saw Julia Roberts this morning. She is 3) shorter than I imagined; in fact she’s not as tall as me. But she is very beautiful, and I think she’s even 4) more beautiful in real life than in her films.

Hollywood is an expensive place, though. Can you believe I paid $4 for a bottle of water? I think the people here must be a lot 5) richer than people back home. Yesterday we paid $30 to see a comedy show, but I have to say the comedian was the 6) funniest I’ve ever seen.

I love Hollywood. I think it’s the 7) greatest place on earth. I don’t want to leave, but we’re returning on Sunday evening. So, see you soon. Love, Adele

Надеюсь, что у тебя все хорошо. Я в Голливуде! Куда бы я ни пошла, я вижу узнаваемых актеров, поскольку самые знаменитые звезды живут здесь. Я видела Джулию Робертс этим утром. Она ниже, чем я представляла — не такая высокая, как я. Но она очень красивая, и я думаю, она даже прекраснее в реальной жизни, чем в своих фильмах.

Голливуд — очень дорогое место. Можешь поверить, что я плачу по 4 доллара за бутылку воды? Я думаю, люди здесь должны быть намного богаче, чем дома. Вчера мы заплатили 30 долларов, чтобы посмотреть комедийное шоу, и я должна сказать, что сам комедиант был самым смешным из тех, кого я когда-либо видела.

Мне понравился Голливуд. Я думаю, что это величайшее место на земле. Мне не хочется уезжать, но мы возвращаемся в воскресенье вечером. Так что, до скорого. С любовью, Адель.
