A THANK- YOU LETTER
Dear Angie,
I am writing to say how much I enjoyed staying with you and your
family, and to thank you for your hospitality. I have had a good flight
home, and my parents and sisters were waiting at the airport to meet
me. There was so much news to tell to them that we stayed up talking
until long after the midnight! They were extremely interested to see
through all my photographs, especially the ones of you and yourr family.
I have been trying to persuade them to visit England in next year so that
they can meet you. I know you would all get on with very well together.
I must say that it's nice to be home again and speaking my own
language, but I'm afraid I may forget all the English I had learnt while
I was staying with you . So I'm planning to write to you regularly
as a way of practicing. I'm sure of I'll make lots of mistakes and it
would be helpful if you could correct the worst ones.
Please write soon. I'm looking forward to your news.
There are ten mistakes in the following passage. Find the mistakes and correct them.
Dear lan.
Thanks a lot to for letter. Sorry i haven't answered before. I've been very busy to get ready ro go to Ho Chi Minh City. I was really sorry hearing you about your trouble with Lan, especially because it's been going on for so long. You ought to try making a decision soon. I think it's bad for both of you to go on as this. I think perhaps it will be better if you separated, but of course i might be wrong. I don't know Lan very well. You know, if i were you, i would go away alone dor a couple of weeks. If you were on yourself, you could think things out calm and decide what to do. Why don't you taking a holiday now? I'm sure it would do you a lot of goods. Write again soon and let me know how things are going. And don't forget to kiss your daughter, An for me. I hope everything would be OK for you
