December 2010 Dear Anna,
Thanks for your letter. I’m working very hard at school at the
moment too because I also have my exams at the end of the
year. I’m going to take eight exams in all subjects, including
English. The teachers are giving us a lot of homework and it’s hard
to do all of it, so I’m not going out very much.
After the exams, I’m going to get a job for the summer. I’d like to
have a holiday but I can’t afford to. I’m going to earn some money
for my visiting London. I’ll go to my Granny.
I hope you’re well and not working too hard. Write to me about
your lessons. Are you going to take exams at the end of the year?
Lots of love,
Jane

F. Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you! Well done on
passing your exams!
G. I think you need to ask yourself one question: what's more important-
that argument or your friendship? I remember when I asked myself that it
all became clear. I realized my friendship with Chris was far more
important. I called him immediately and told him. We became friends
again immediately. Maybe you should do the same thing. Let me know
what happens! Good luck!
