Dear
Suzi,
Thanks for your letter It
was great to hear from you I’m sorry I haven't written sooner,
but I’ve been very busy.
So
what's new?
Well, as you can see from the address,
I’m not living with my
parents any more. I’ve moved
into a flat nearer my job. It’s
got a spare room, so you
can stay with me when you come and
visit next summer!
I’ve also
just had a pay increase at work. Great isn't it?
I was really
surprised because I’ve only been working
there for six
months.
What
else?
Well, I went to a party last week where I
met this great guy.
We spent the whole night chatting
and dancing I'm meeting him
again this weekend! Who
knows - maybe a new romance!
Guess what? I got a letter
from Toshi yesterday. You
won't believe this, but he's getting
married!
Well,
that's all my news. Let me know how you are doing
I'm really
looking forward to hearing from you!
Love,
Andrea
