Dear Susan,

It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it's only been several weeks since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!

I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past week-end I took second place in a sandcastle building contest!

On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids. It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and kids. The pay isn't too great but I love the job so much.

I hope the summer's been going well for you too. There's only a month and a half left in summer vacation and after that it's back to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school starts?

Your friend,

Signature

P.S. John Austin.

Dear Nathan

How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here.

We are going to have the national examination, aren’t we? Are you well prepared for it? Well, to be honest, I just have some difficulties in preparing for it, especially in Science. There are extra lessons in my school and I take them all. But, I feel that they don’t help. I’m still confused in solving Mathematic problems. I’m just worried that I fail the national examination. Do you have any suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help.

I look forward to hearing from you.

To all Colleagues and Friends,

As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to those who feel

offended that I have left having written only this farewell letter, without personally shaking their

hand and exchanging best wishes.

I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is impossible to personally get to see you all with the short time that was available.

I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of "get in and get it happening people"

and I am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the operation and (for

quite a lot of you) for your own personal accomplishments.

To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I commend each of you

for your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life journeys.

I can be contacted if required on 08159030832. I wish you all a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous Year.

Thanks, regards and best wishes,

Bill Jones

Dear Big Meal’s representative

I’m writing to inform you that I had a negative bad experience at your location in Columbus, New Jersey on August 4. My receipt number is 512, and the person who handled my order was Alex.

First of all, I recognize that you, as the reader of this letter, are not responsible for my bad experience, but I am still upset about the situation.

I went to the drive through and ordered seven meals with no pickles. When I received my order, I checked that all of the sandwiches and fries were in the bag paid and drove away. When 1 got home, 1 realized my number seven had pickles on it. I’m allergic to pickles, and I didn’t want to waste the sandwich, so I drove back to the drive through to explain the situation and get it fixed.

I feel very disappointed with this interaction, as I usually enjoy my experiences at your restaurant. To fix this situation, I would like a coupon for a free meal of my choice. I think an apology from Alex is also appropriate.

Please contact me at 555.555.5555 or email me back at jkorkell@gmail.com. I would like this situation to be resolved so I can continue to be a loyal Big Meal’s patron.

Best,

Jim Korkell

15. Who is in charge to take the order of “the drive through service”?

Dear Frodi,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jean

5. “You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow.” What is the closest meaning of word “sincere”?

Dear Jonny,

Hello! How are you? I received your letter today. I am very excited to hear that you are coming to stay with me for the holidays. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together.

My parents have agreed to let you stay with me. They offered to pick you up at the airport. All you have to do is to tell us when you are coming.

I will now tell you about some of the things you will experience here in Indonesia. You do not have to worry about the local spicy food. We have a lot of fast food restaurants here like the ones you have in England.

You can also shop for souvenirs to bring home. Sarinah or Blok M are our famous shopping areas. They have many shops selling all kinds of things. I am sure you will love them.

I am also planning to take you to a few tourist spots like miniature of Indonesia, National monument, or Safari Garden. We can also go to the Ancol beach where you can swim, play on the beach, and have picnics.

My family and I are looking forward to your coming. I hope to hear from you soon. Good bye.

With love.

Nadim

Ubud, 7th April 2007

Dear Tamara,

Hi there. How are things with you? It’s good to know that you are doing fine in business. Have you received my postcard?

I am now sitting in my hotel room writing a letter to you about my wonderful holiday. I think this is the most wonderful holiday have I ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to visit, beautiful local art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It’s Thursday today. I can’t believe this my last day. I wish I could spend more time here. I am certain I will stay longer on my next visit.

I’ll be home about 3 p.m. tomorrow if the flight is on time. On Monday I must go back to work. I can’t wait to show my video to my class.

Okay, that’s all for now. Send my love to your children.

Best wishes from,

Linda
