After researching new technologies, I suggest the city develop more renewable sources like ___(22)___, wind, and nuclear power.

Hi Mom,
I wanted to send this postcard to you and let you know I am doing well and living in London. I found a good job working in a bakery. The bakery is in a beautiful part of the city across the street from the Waldorf. It is an old hotel, and many famous guests stay there. I got an apartment near the park and have been getting lots of exercise by going on slow runs around the city. I have also been spending my free time watching the local Chelsea football club at the stadium. It's so exciting to watch the games in person and hear the crowd go crazy when they score. Being here has been a great experience. You would be happy to know that I have been improving my English. Being able to practice every day has helped me a lot.
Please write back and let me know how things are at home.
Your Son,
Anthony
