4 Tick ( /) the things Theo writes about in his email.

Hi Azra,
(1) How are things with you? I'm in Madrid right now - we're here on holiday. Madrid is a really cool place. There are lots of great things to see
and do here - shops, markets, and of course the football stadium! We're staying in a small hotel in the middle of Madrid and it's really nice.
(2) I'm sitting in a cafe at the moment, in the middle of the city. I'm here with my mum and we're having something to drink because it's really
hot today! My dad and my sister are at a market near here - they're looking for some shoes for my sister. This afternoon we're visiting a museum
of money. Don't ask why. It was Dad's suggestion.
(3) OK, my dad and sister are coming back, so I'm going now. Write soon and tell me how you are.
Hope you're OK.
Theo
PS I'm bringing you a 5 euro note home as a present. I hope you still collect banknotes!
