Hi Emily,

I’m sending you some changes to the design for the Hotel Of The Future project. I’m not very good at drawing (it’s my 1……worst…… skill, I think), but hopefully we’ll get a 2…………………. mark than last term. So, the 3…………………. rooms now cost $300 a night. Obviously they have the 4…………………. views. I’ve added another spa. This one is 5…………………. the other one, but it’s 6…………………. with all the wood and the candles. What else? The ‘sky pool’ is 7…………………., so more people can swim now. The building is just 8…………………. before; I haven’t added any more floors. What else? Oh, I changed the material to glass. This way I think it’ll look 9…………………., perfect for next century. Let me know what you think!

Speak soon,

Brandon
