Writing and Grammar

Exercise 27a Hi Ellie!

How are you? The new school year started a few days ago. I was really excited for the first day back because my school now offers a new course. It’s about Photoshop! I had my first class yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Our teacher taught us a few Photoshop basics. We had time to try some tricks ourselves the rest of the lesson. My best friend is in the same class, so we did our homework together yesterday. It was quite easy when we started. It got more difficult after that because we’re both very new at Photoshop. What do you think of our creation?
