Task 1.  Read the letter to a friend:

Chrummwisstrasse 47

8702 Kuesnacht

Zurich

 17th  September

Dear Mark,

Thanks so much for your card.

I really loved the party last week and I was quite sad at the end. I’m going to miss all the wonderful friends I made at the company. How are things without me?

I started work at my new place on Monday. The commute is a lot shorter. I catch a train near my house and I'm at work in fifteen minutes. It’s amazing! I have time to play with Maggie before she goes to bed!

The house is nice - see the pictures. But we’re really busy at the moment. A lot of things are still in boxes - including the computer - so I can’t email at the moment.

We’re enjoying learning a new language. The first time Maggie heard some children talking she cried. Then she said 'Daddy! What's wrong with them?' In fact, many of the Swiss speak English (and French and Italian!) so communicating in shops isn't difficult. Television is a bit harder! I watched the German "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' the other night. I think I got two questions correct, but I don't know!

Victoria sends her love – she’s cooking something Swiss at the moment. Remember: the flight is only 40 minutes! You, Таmsin and the children are always welcome.

Anyway, that’s about it for the moment. Look after yourself and keep in touch.

All the best,

Rich

PS I'm in London for a meeting at the end of October. Do you want to meet for dinner?

Task 1.  Read the email:

Dear Poppy,

How are you? Sorry I didn't reply to any of your emails, but I only checked today. Last week was a busy and very exciting week.

Ollie and I went out for dinner on Friday. We were celebrating our anniversary – we started going out four years ago. Four years! I can't believe it. He wanted to surprise me and he did - we went to Fifteen - Jamie Oliver's new restaurant! The food was amazing. It's also cheaper than I thought. However, that's not the reason I'm writing ...

After the meal, we were having coffee and Ollie asked for the bill. When it came, he gave it to me. I laughed, but then I saw a lot of waiters looking at me. What's more, they were all smiling.

I didn't know what was happening. When I looked at the bill, I knew. It just said Will you marry me. Katy?' in Ollie's handwriting Then Ollie gave me a small box. It was a ring! I put it on and very nervously said yes. The waiters started clapping and I went very red!

Someone in the restaurant gave us a bottle of champagne. We didn't drink it, though. We can have it when you next come to London. And we can also go shopping! I need a wedding dress and someone to help me choose it!

Love,

Katy
