Dear Anita,
Sorry I haven't written for ages. I've been so busy over the last year and I never seem to have a minute to myself.
I'd like to study electrical engineering at university in Australia next year and I hope you can give me some advice. I think I would prefer Melbourne because I know a few people from my visit last year.
This year I'm doing maths and physics at school and I hope to do well in my exams. However, I really don't know which university to apply to, so could you send me some information about different colleges? Also, can you find out what qualifications I need? For instance, as an overseas student, do I have to take an English test?
I hope you don't mind doing this for me. It is much better to get this information from someone who lives in the country, so I hope to hear from you soon.
Many thanks,
Rosanna
