Dear Carol,
How are you? I know it's been months since I wrote you. Since I'm at college, I seem to spend a lot of time reading, and sometimes I'm too tired to write letters. The good news is that I will graduate this July.
It was great to hear that you went on that trip to Singapore. It was great! I've never been to an Asian country. Have you heard anything from that artist you met there? He sounded fun.
My life has not been very exciting, but I did do one thing interesting last week. I went to a Lenine concert with some friends. We got the cheapest seats right at the top, but the acoustics(音效) were really good, so being far away didn't matter. The audience (观众) were a mixture of young people and old fans of the great singer.
Lenine is a Brazilian singer, about 25 years old, with very long hair. His music is a cross between rock and New Age. He does a lot of songs about environmental problems in Brazil, So he uses instruments that sound just like birds singing in the rainforests. He did some solo (独唱) songs and others with his group. He has a fantastic voice. The music was great, but I didn't think much of the lighting, and the setting was too formal for his kind of music.
Well, I must go now, as I have to hand in a paper tomorrow, and I haven't even started it yet!
Best wishes!
Vanessa
