Question 1 of 2
1. Question
10 point(s)1. Copy the sentences from the letter that mean the same as the ones in the exercise.
Dear _______ ,
Many thanks for your last letter. The new house sounds brilliant – how are you settling in? I’m sorry I haven’t written sooner, but I’ve been really busy helping my parents out on the farm.
It’s great fun, though I still haven’t got used to getting up at six every morning to milk the cows! We often have the radio on while we’re doing it, so it’s not too bad. Then, once we’ve had breakfast, we tend to spend the rest of the day outside, either in the fields or looking after the sheep.
That reminds me, do you remember Lady, our oldest sheepdog? Well, she’s just had puppies! If you’re free in the summer, you could come and see them all and help with the harvest as well.
Let me know if you can make it – we’d love to see you again.
Anyway, I must go, as it’s getting late and tomorrow we’ve got another early start.
Can’t wait to hear from you.
Best wishes-
I’d better close now =
I would be most grateful if you could inform me =
Thanks a lot for the letter =
I look forward to your prompt reply =
Yours sincerely =
It could be worse =
By the way =
I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to write to you =
All the best =
I’m looking forward to hearing from you =
