Exercise - ASAT XI - 2024

Dear Frodi,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jean

Dear Paula;

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

At first, I felt my body became weak then fainted when 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 treatments. Finally, l 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, think that’s all from me, write to me soon ok?

Regards

Nadira

A Song

From my youngest years

'Til this moment here

I've never seen

Such a lovely queen

From the skies above

To the deepest love

I've never felt

Crazy like this before

[Chorus:]

Paint my love

You should paint my love

It's the picture of a thousand sunsets

It's the freedom of a thousand doves

Baby, you should paint my love

Been around the world

Then I met you, girl

It's like coming home

To a place I've known

[Chorus:]

Paint my love

You should paint my love

It's the picture of a thousand sunsets

It's the freedom of a thousand doves

Baby, you should paint my love

Since you came into my life

The days before all fade to black and white

Since you came into my life

Everything has changed

[Chorus:]

Paint my love

You should paint my love

It's the picture of a thousand sunsets

It's the freedom of a thousand doves

Baby, you should paint my love

What is the title of the song?
