Dear Sir or Madam
I have just read the ‘Where are they now?’ page of this year’s college magazine. I am writing with some news, as you ask.
The last three years have been very interesting for me. When I left college I started work with ICI, but I only stayed there for year. I had several temporary jobs and then I got a job with a record company in London. I have been here for a year now and am really enjoying it. I have now bought a flat in Chelsea which is not very big, but has a magnificent view. I have been in the flat since September.
Cristina Santorini has gone back to Mexico. She was working in Birmingham for a couple of years and I met her at a party. We went out together for a while, but now she has gone back home. She has a good job out there, but I cannot remember what it is.
I hope you can use some of this information in the next magazine. I enclose a recent photograph. Thank you for your attention.
Yours faithfully
John Marsh.

The forgotten years.
It was 1973 and Sarah Simms was a happy 19-year-old. She had a nice job in a film laboratory, and in the evenings she went out with her boyfriend. She loved dancing, especially to her favourite pop group, T.Rex.
Then she woke up in a hospital bed. A man was talking to her. He said that he was her husband, but she didn’t recognize him. In fact, she didn’t like him very much. She thought he looked very old. Some other visitors were standing around her bed, too. She didn’t recognize any of them expect her sister, Sally, and even she looked twenty years older.
But that’s because Sally was twenty years older, and so was Sarah.
Two days earlier Sarah had been in a car crash. The accident had erased twenty years of her memory. It was now 1993, but for Sarah it was 1973 and she was still a teenager. She’d forgotten the twenty years in between.
In those twenty years Sarah had got married. (1973 she hadn’t met her husband.) And she’d had two children- Alexander, 11, and Linda, 9. The world had also changed dramatically. What, for example, was a word processor, a microwave or a compact disc? Those things had not been invented in 1973. Had Britain really had a woman prime minister? And where had all her favourite pop stars gone?
Doctors say that Sarah’s amnesia is rare, but they hope that her memory will slowly return. Her husband Michael hopes, too. ‘Life has been difficult since the accident,’ he says. ‘Things have changed a lot. It’s hard when a wife and mother thinks she’s still teenager’
