Dear Igon

How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here.

We are going to have the national examination, aren’t we? Are you well prepared for it? Well, to be honest, I just have some difficulties in preparing for it, especially in science. There are extra lessons in my school and I take them all. But, I feel that they don’t help. I’m still confused in solving mathematic problems. I’m just worried that I fail the national examination. Do you have any suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Aunt Nia

Aunty, I have some good news for you. Last month I passed my final examination. A week ago I succeeded to join in a senior high school English competition. Last night my parents promised to send me to a famous English course in my town. They also promised me if my scores in English are good, they’ll send me to a foreign university. Great, isn’t it? I’ll work hard. I want to be a great pediatrician like you, Aunty.

Well, that’s all for now. Looking forward to having your news.

Dear Indah

Indah, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment last month and we’ve been really busy getting settled.

It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms to work in. It has a big living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is the kitchen.

The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time

you are in the town. I’ll wait.
