1 There are twelve mistakes in the following passage, underline and corect them

Dear Mr and Mrs Wilcox,

I'm very happy that you can come to visit us in August, but I would like to tell you something in my town.
The weather here in August is usually very good, and bring a warm jumper or jacket with you because it is sometimes cool in the evenings.
I know if you like going to the theatre and to the opera, then I have booked tickets for the performance of 'Aida' in August 4th. An opera will start at 9.00 in the evening. Because there are lots of people when the seats do not have numbers we must arrive very early.
I know that you will like the monuments in Verona, especially the Arena and the Roman theatre.
There is a lot of good restaurants and cafés in Verona and we can try some of the local dishes. I'm sure you like our food, especially the pasta and the fruit ice-cream.
Please write to me early and tell me early what time you are arriving in Verona.
With best wishes,
