Thank you for your letter. I was astonished to hear about

Sheila and David. I thought they were very happy together. (1)

................................. , when I last saw them they were talking about

having another baby, (2) ......................................... quite surprised me

(3) ......................................they’ve already got four. I feel very sorry

for Sheila, but (4) ....................................... I never liked David – too

much of an intellectual.

(5) ........................................... , you’ll be pleased to hear that Joey

passed her driving test first time. (6) ..................................... , she

shouldn’t be allowed on the road at all – she’s far too careless and

easily distracted.

We’re having the living-room decorated (7) ........................................, so

the whole house is in a mess. (8) .................................... , it’ll be finished

before the weekend, because we’ve got Peter’s parents coming to stay,

(9)....................................... I’ll be busy cleaning and cooking as usual. They’re

no trouble, (10) ....................................... it would be nice to have a quiet

weekend for a change.

Well, I must end now. Say hello to the family. Write again soon,

Angela
