1) Dear Brian,

Thank you for your letter! 2) I am awfully

sorry I could not write before. 3) I had some

friends on a visit so I did not have any free

time at all! 4) Then I had a cold and had

to stay in bed for one day. 5) But I am OK

now and continue my preparations for the

Maths exam.

6) What about you? 7) I heard you had

a new girlfriend. 8) Tell me about her and

send me her picture, please.

9) Best,

Lera

1) People say that you can work miracles

with your imagination and strong will. 2) I

guess, it is true. 3) Your imagination gives

you ideas and your strong will puts them into

practice. 4) Thinking about a perfect day I

would like to spend, I will visualize the idea

of it. 5) Hopefully, it will help the perfect day

happen. 6) So, I will start with saying that

on my perfect day I would not get up before

11 a.m. 7) I like to sleep long hours but it does

not happen often in my busy life. 8) That is

why no perfect day may go without long and

sound sleep in the morning. 9) I expect my perfect

day to be sunny, quiet and warm. 10) Not

too hot but it must be a summer day for sure.

11) I would like my breakfast to be served to

bed, and I would have it while watching some

funny comedy on TV. 12) Then I would call

my friends and we would go for a walk in our

local park to breathe some fresh air and enjoy

the view of magnificent tall trees and thick

bushes framed with neat sidewalks and roads

for cyclists. 13) We would go to the café in the

central part of the park without any doubt.

14) They sell marvellous ice cream of various

colours, shapes and tastes. 15) That ice cream

is a joy but it is rather costly so you cannot

eat it every day. 16) But we speak about a

perfect day, so it is OK. 17) We would eat it

and discuss the latest news and our plans for

future. 18) Going to the cinema seems a logical

continuation of the walk. 19) We would go to

the new picture house built a few months ago

near the park. 20) On that very day a famous

American actor, say Brad Pitt, would happen

to arrive to our city and exactly at that picture

house to present his latest movie. 21) We

would take places in the first row and would

be the first to get his autographs and maybe

even a kiss on the cheek! 22) Certainly, after

that watching the film would be much more

captivating than usual. 23) In the evening, we

would have some pizza and go home to tell ourrelatives and friends about the famous movie

star from America whom we saw in person

and whose autograph we took. 24) It is interesting

but it seems that my perfect day is not

something impossible to have! 25) With some

free time and a certain spark of creativity I can

spend my perfect day next weekend!
