Dear Nan, 

We are having a great  holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to the Movie World.When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain. After a while the cloud disappeared. And it became a sunny day. We then decided to go to the Movie World.

The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, Mum and Kelly queued for the Batman ride.

It was a top day. See you when you get back.

Love,

Sam

Dear Paula,

Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you. Well, I just wanted to tell you that I was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor; I was infected by dengue fever.

At first, I felt my body became weak then I fainted when I was studying in the classroom. Then, I was taken to the hospital because of the high fever.

At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave some treatment. Finally, I had to stay there for one week. Everyday the doctor kept me on a drip.

At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final check, the doctor gave me permission to go home. Now, I’m okay and because of my illness, I am now more careful about keeping in my house clean especially my room, I don’t want to get the same illness again.

OK, I think that’s all from me, write to me soon ok?

Regards

Nadira

Dear Sir,

I understand that my payment is three weeks late, but that does not justify your collections office’s actions. During the past five days I have received three telephone calls and four letters. In addition, one of your representatives has contacted two of my relatives who have nothing to do with my finances. By anyone’s definition this is harassment. I expect you to stop contacting me every day and to stop calling my relatives.

In the meantime, please know that I plan to send you a payment within the next few days. The money will reach your office in about a week.

Sincerely yours

Amitha Bachan

This text is for question 33 to 34

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc. Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts of the world which can we see directly. Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed. The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Irian Jaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.
