Exercise 202

Read and translate the letter.

5 Essex Road

London SW12 5JL

24th October

Dear Janet,

Thank you for your letter. I’m always very happy to hear from you.

Everything you do is so exciting.

I’m sitting here in the office with nothing to do. I’m waiting for 5.30 so that I can go home. Work is very boring at the moment. I do the same things every day. I always get up at the same time in the morning and I travel to work every day by tube and train. I do the same things at work and I usually have lunch in the same canteen. Twice a week I go to the cinema and once a month I go to Bournemouth to see you. Never mind. I’m leaving work next week and I’m getting married in November! At least that”s exciting.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Much love.

Joy.
