Dear Emma,

I’m so glad to hear that you decided to go to UCLA! You had better must ought to should[?] be so excited!

I had a great experience at UCLA and I think if you follow my advice, you will too.

First, you had better must ought to should[?] bring enough money to last you the first month; otherwise you won’t have enough! After that, you had better must ought to should[?] get a job, but if you don’t, you had better must ought to should[?] apply for financial aid. I think you had better must ought to should[?] focus more on studying than working, so your job had better must ought to should[?] only require you to work a few hours a week.

You had better must ought to should[?] live on campus the first year. That way, you will get accustomed to life in the USA and college. After that, you had better must ought to should[?] move to an apartment, because it will be hard to focus on your studies if you live on campus with new students!

Los Angeles has a lot of things to do. The beaches are great, but you had better must ought to should[?] bring sunscreen and a hat if you go. The Southern California sun is very strong. You can also visit Beverly Hills and Hollywood. You had better must ought to should[?] visit Disneyland and Universal Studies. They are very fun!

Los Angeles is a relatively safe city, but you had better must ought to should[?] be careful because like every big city there is crime. You had better must ought to should[?] carry a cell phone too, just in case you need to call anyone.

If there is anything else I can do to help you, just let me know. I know you had better
must ought to should[?] be very happy about your new life.

Best,
Anna
