Hi Paul, I'm sorry I haven`t replied to your email before now, but finally here`s some news.
 Helen has left college now and she starts her first job. She bought lots of new clothes to wear at work because she needs to look smart.
  Things have gotten better for Harry. He found a new girlfriend and he became a lot happier. Her name is Martha and I didn`t meet her, but people  told me that she's really nice.
 The weather is terrible. The rain hasn`t  stopped for ages. You made a good decision - Im sure it's lovely where you are!

1. I have seen the doctor. I saw him two hours ago.
2. My friend was there last winter.
3. The postman has brought a letter for you.
4. We lived in Brest in 1968. He has lived in that village.
5. The mechanic has caught cold and stays in bed.
6. Mike has missed two days. He missed two days last week.

Когда в предложении делается акцент на дате совершения действия (last winter, hour ago, in 1968, last week) мы используем Past Simple. Когда внимание уделяется действию и его эффекту в настоящем времени, использует Present Perfect.
