Dear Liz,

Thanks for your letter. Sorry, I haven’t written to you for so long. I was busy with my studies.

We had some great food – pizzas, hotdogs and hamburgers. There was a DJ and he played excellent music.

We danced for hours. I took a lot of photos, too. Here is a brilliant group photo of all my friends. We are playing games and laughing.

By the way, I’m going to have my birthday party on Saturday. Would you like to come? Tell me about the best party you have ever been to. Do you have any photos?

Hereford

England

September, 15

Dear … ,

Thanks for your letter. I’m glad to be your pen friend.

I’m fourteen and I live in the city called Hereford. It’s in England, and it’s a great place. Maybe you can find it on the map.

I go to a big school. It has nearly 1,000 students but the classes aren’t very big. There are twenty people in mine. I study nine subjects. My favourite subject is Geography. I like languages, too. I study French and German but I don’t study Spanish – sorry!

There are some leisure facilities at my school. I never go to the drama club because I don’t like it, but I often go to the swimming pool. It’s an amazing place and we always have a good time there. We’ve also got a really good concert hall at our school and I often go to concerts there.

I’m into music, especially heavy metal and rock. I can’t play a musical instrument but I can sing.

By the way, what’s your favourite school subject? What leisure facilities are there at your school? Have you got a swimming pool there? Please tell me about your hobby and interests.

I can’t write any more as I have to walk my dog. Please write back soon!

Best wishes,

Dave

1. Read the story.

A day out in London

Last week I went to London for the day with my friend Kate and her family. We got up at six o’clock and the train left at seven o’clock. The journey took three hours.

In the morning we went to the Science museum. It was brilliant, but there was a problem. While we were looking at the airplane models, Kate’s brother Mike got lost.

We stayed there all morning, so at one o’clock we were very hungry. It was a lovely day and we had a picnic in the park. Everything was nice. Though there were too many cheese sandwiches, there was not enough juice. Anyway, we had a great time.

Kate took some photographs in the park and then we went on a boat trip down the River Thames. It was very interesting.

Then we rushed to the station. On the way home Kate and I were listening to the music when I fell asleep. I arrived home at midnight. I was very tired but happy. It was a wonderful day.

2. Write a story about your trip. Look at Exercise 1 for a model description of a day out.

Thank you for your letter. I’ve seen your favourite film and I really enjoyed it.

Guess what! Last Saturday I was at Ann’s birthday party! We had a great fun. Ann is my new neighbour, you know. Her house is next to ours. She’s older than me – she’s fourteen.

We are both interested in sport, especially tennis and basketball. So we often play tennis at weekends. Besides, Ann’s brilliant at Maths and sometimes helps me with my homework. She’s patient and never gets angry.

By the way, she’s very pretty, I suppose. She’s got big, brown eyes and long, straight hair. You can

look at my webpage. There is a photo of me and Ann at her birthday party. We are dancing and laughing. We are wearing white jeans and white T-shirts because it was a dress code party.

Hope, you’re okay at your new school. Tell me about your best friend.

Dear Rory,

I’m on holiday in Cornwall. I’m having a fantastic time!

On Monday, I had a surfing lesson – it was amazing but (as you said) the weather was VERY cold. Yesterday Mum and I went sailing – it was fantastic too. Lydia has spent some time with us. Mum and Dad took us both to an art gallery in St.Ives – it was a bit boring but Lydia loved it.

We are at a mining museum today and it’s horrible. I can’t stand being underground so I’m waiting in the cafe and writing postcards. Lucky Lydia is at the beach with her family. I got a text from Joe this morning – we’ve arranged to meet at the beach tomorrow.

How are you? Write about your summer holidays.

Brighton

Dear Simon,

How are you? I’m okay but a bit tired after my first week at boarding school. I arrived last Saturday.

It’s strange to be away from home but I don’t mind the school. It’s got a big sports hall and a new computer room. Guess what! There’s also an outdoor swimming pool! We study the same subjects as other schools but we have a lot of homework. We have lessons on Saturday mornings as well. It’s strange to be in class at weekends!

Everyone here is quite friendly. I’m sharing a room with a girl called Annette. She’s nice but we don’t get together much because she has different interests from me. I’ve joined the drama club. I only have a small part in the play but that’s okay.

It’s great that you have moved to Edinburgh. I hope you are fine. I want to know about your new school. (1) How much time does it take you to get there? (2) Tell about the leisure facilities at your school. (3) What club have you joined? (4) Have you made friends yet?

Anyway, I have to go now and have my tea. Please write soon.

You know, our house is quite small, we held the party in the garden. Dad borrowed tables and

chairs from some neighbours. My friend Karen helped me to organize the music for dancing.

I got a lot of presents. My parents gave me a CD player. Karen gave me a CD that I really wanted. Alex gave me a poster; Lyn, Dave and Matthew bought me a book about music. And I got lots of other really great gifts. It is the best party I have ever had. Do you like parties? Write about the most exciting party you have ever been to.

February, 18

Dear …,

Thank you for your letter. Sorry, I haven’t written to you for so long. I was busy with my studies.

In your letter you asked me about my leisure activities. I like going to the cinema. Last Sunday I saw Mission Impossible III. It is the third spy thriller in the series and it stars Tom Cruise as an agent Ethan Hunt.

Ethan Hunt is a trainer of spies. One of his former students is captured by an evil arms dealer. Hunt’s mission in this film is to rescue her. However, the mission goes wrong and Hunt’s girlfriend is in danger.

There are a lot of exciting scenes in the film like explosions and a helicopter chase. The special effects, like the jump from a Shanghai skyscraper, are also good. Though I think the plot is a bit silly. Also, the acting isn’t very convincing.

It’s great that you like watching films, too. Anyway, I would recommend Mission Impossible III, only if you really like spy films. (1) What is your favourite film? (2) What type of film is it?

(3) Who stars in the film? (4) What is it about? (5) Why do you like it?

Sorry, I must finish as I have to do a project work. Please write back soon.

Dear Stephen,

Thanks for your letter. I’m really looking forward to your visit. I know we’ll have a lot of fun.

I’ve been thinking about what we could do while you’re here. I’ve got a few suggestions. Maybe you could tell me what you think, and perhaps suggest a few other things.

(1) First of all, do you like cycling? There are some really good cycle tracks round here, and we could hire a bike for you if you like. There are lots of great places to visit, and I thought it would be fun to go there by bike.

(2) Secondly, do you like folk music? There’s a festival near here in August. My parents say that we can go if you want to, and if your parents don’t mind. Folk isn’t my favourite kind of music, but I went to the festival last year, and it was a great fun.

(3) I’m sure we’ll spend a day or two in Birmingham, where there are lots of shops as well as cinemas, parks and museums, etc. (4) Also, we could go to the sea for a day, but it’s quite a long way. What do you think of my ideas? Write me all and we’ll discuss.

Anyway, I have to go now as my sisters need my help.

Looking forward for your letter and your coming. See you soon!
