Dear Jess,

How are you? I’m sorry 1) haven’t written to you for a while, but 2) have been really busy. Let me tell you my news. I 3) started at the local sixth-form college last September, and I 4) am studying biology. My dream is to 5) become a lawyer when I grow up, so I’ll have to work hard and pass all my exams to get into a good university.

My other news is that I have a new pet dog. I 6) have had him for two months now and he’s really cute but sometimes a little naughty. For example, while I 7) was walking him in the park yesterday, he 8) ran off and it 9) took me an hour and a half to find him again.

Anyway, I must go as I have some homework to do, but I promise I 10) will write again soon.

Love,
Poppy

Перевод: Дорогая Джесс! Как ты? Извини, что я некоторое время тебе не писала, но я была очень занята. Расскажу тебе мои новости. В сентябре прошлого года я начала учиться в местном колледже, сейчас изучаю биологию. Моя мечта — стать юристом. У меня также появилась собака. Она у меня уже два месяца. Вчера, когда я гуляла с ней в парке, она убежала, и мне понадобилось полтора часа, чтобы снова её найти. Мне пора, но обещаю скоро снова написать.
