Hi Elaine
It was great to hear from you so quickly. Im sorry to hear Bill has hurt his knee. Never mind Ill make sure
the walk is fine for us all.
Lets meet at Frampton Station at 9.00. Theres a bus leaving from there just after nine, which will take us all
the way to Lake Morrell. If we catch that, Bill wont have any hills to climb I promise!
Its about four kilometres to walk the whole way round the lake and theres a good footpath, so itll be no
problem. For our picnic, we could either wander into the forest or sit by the lakeside. I know a beautiful spot
near the sailing club.
Although it should be sunny, it could be quite chilly in the morning, so Id bring warm sweaters. Make sure
youve got comfortable boots, too (thats especially important for Bill)!
Looking forward to seeing you.
Love

I had decided to stay in my flat for the weekend, rather than go to a music festival with my flatmates. I had
spent Saturday cleaning the flat and doing some reading for a lecture I had to go to on the Monday morning.
I went to bed about midnight after watching a movie on the TV.
At three oclock in the morning I heard a noise. It sounded like a dustbin lid. I didnt think much of it at
first maybe its a cat, I thought. Then there was the sound of footsteps, although very quiet ones. I was
immediately wide awake and reached for my phone. Quickly I dialled 999 for the police. I told them where I
was and that I thought I had a burglar. Then I got out of bed and locked my bedroom door. A few minutes
later came the sound of breaking glass. Nervously I looked out of the window, but I was in luck. There was a
flashing blue light coming up the road. I was really thankful to see the police car arrive.

How to keep fit and healthy
Getting enough exercise
The aim of this report is to give advice to students at the college. Its easy to get out of condition while youre
studying. There never seems enough time to do any exercise you always seem to have to be at a lecture
or in the library. However, were very lucky as we have excellent sports facilities. The gym is open from 7.00
in the morning until 10.00 at night, so I would recommend that you try to fit in some exercise twice a week.
Eating to stay healthy
Most people say that the stress of exams and essay writing can make you want to eat food which is bad
for you, like chocolate and cakes. After working hard you often feel the need for a reward. But try to resist
the temptation! Instead keep lots of fruit in your room and have a banana when you feel hungry. The college
canteen has a wide variety of healthy food to choose from, so dont buy an expensive take-away if youre
short of time and money eat in the canteen.

Dear Mrs Donovan,
Im writing to apply for the holiday job which you advertised recently in the newspaper. I am a twenty-year-old
student and I speak English quite well. At present I am in my third year studying Mathematics at Redstone
College and I am very keen to have a holiday job this summer. I am extremely good at adding up, so I think
I would be an asset to your shop.
My term finishes on 3rd July and I am free until 18th September. Last year I worked in a restaurant serving
tourists from all over the world and I enjoyed it very much. I would like to have the opportunity to meet people
and practise my English again.
I enjoy going to museums and am particularly keen on history. Last year I went to an exhibition of Ancient
Egyptian objects which was held in London. I have often been in your museum and am familiar with the items
you have. I do hope you will be interested in my application.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
