I had a great day! I 1 woke up at 8 o’clock and the sky was blue. I met Larry and George at the port 2 at nine and we left for Little Island. The sea was calm and the trip only took 3 an hour (the/a/an). When we arrived, we went 4 swimming and then we had a picnic on a beach.
5 In the afternoon we went for a walk around the island. We found an empty house on the top of the hill. There were 6 a lot of strange paintings on the walls of the house. It was cool! When we came out of the house, the sky was grey and then it started to rain. We decided to leave the island but 7 then the sea became very rough. The boat moved up and down and from side to side. We 8 were afraid but it was also fun. It 9 took us two hours to get back but we arrived safely. When I got home, mum was very 10 worried but I told her that I had had a really lovely day!
Dear Pete,
Thank you for your letter. I was glad to get it.
My congratulations to you on the occasion of your school leaving and give my regards to all your family and my warmest congratulations to Michail on the occasion of his graduating from the University. What was his ceremomy of getting diplomas like? Where did it take place? Were relatives present at the unofficial part? I hope in five or six years we'll have the same kind of ceremony like his one. But now we have to work hard in order to enter the University. I'm going to take four exams to enter my department. And what about you? As I have already written to you I apply to historical department. I believe my dream will soon come true.
I close now. Write to me soon.
Best wishes,
Helen
