Dear Anna
In your last letter you asked me to tell you about my pets. OK, I can talk for hours on this topic. I have a dog; his name is La boule. That’s a French word which means a ball. He is a pug and he is very funny. I also have a hamster. His name is Masha. Not a usual name for a hamster, you say, but he is very curious and smart enough. I would also like to have a cat, but perhaps not now.
I’m fine, no changes since the last time. I’m passing my exams next week. After that, I’m looking forward to going abroad. I like traveling a lot. I’ve visited just a few European countries but I fell in love with the Old world. My dream is to go to Paris. This is the city of love, croissants and haut-couture. I think every person should see it and not necessarily die after it!
You told me that you had been to many countries. Tell me about your greatest trip! Have you been to Paris, did you like it? What are you going to do this summer? Where would you like to go?
I’m so happy that your sister married! Wish her and her husband a very good luck! Hope the wedding was as gorgeous as the bride was!
Could you send me some photos?
Sorry, I have to go, my parents are leaving on holidays, I need to see them off.
Waiting for your letter,
Yours truly,
Masha
AT INTERVIEW FOR A JOB
On Wednesday I had an important interview for a job.I (got up) at 7 o`clock in the morning and (shaved) carefully. I (put on) my best jacket and trousers. I (had to travel) by train , so I (walked) to the station.
On my way I (saw) a man who (was painting) his fence with red paint.The man (didn't notice) me: he (was looking) at the fence.Then he (turned) suddenly and (splashed) my beautiful trousers! The man (apologised) to me, but the damage (had already been done).
''If I (go) home , I (will be late) for the interview". I (thought) There (is) a department store not far from the station , so I (decided) to buy a new pair.
I (found) a nice pair of trousers and since I (was) in a hurry, I (decided) to change on the train. The stop (was) full , so I (paid) hurriedly for my trousers, (took) my shopping bag and (left) .
I (arrived) at the station just in time to catch the train. Now I (was sure) that I (wouldn't be late) for the interview. I (smiled) happily at an elderly lady who (was staring) at my trousers and (went) to the toilet to change. I (threw) my stained trousers out of the window. Then I (opened) the bag to get my new ones , but all I (found) was a pink woollen sweater!
