Dear John,
Sorry for not answering, I was really busy with my homework. Thank you for your letter, I was really happy to hear from you again.
Well, as you know, i went to London with my parents last week. Our journey was absolutelly breathtaking! We lived in the hotel near Big Ben. We went to a guided tour. It was really exciting to meet historical places of the city. Moreover, we went sightseeing. We also visited different squers, parks and museums and met with local culture.
Sorry, I have to go now. My dad is calling me.
Keep in touch!
Yours,

I was sitting in an arm-chair and watching my sister Alison. She was getting ready for a party. Alison was 15 years (OLDER) than me and she always treated me like a child. Alison took her jewelry box from the table. The box was MADE of wood and had colourful stones on the top. “You know you must never touch it, right?” Alison said. “If the box was mine, I (WOULD ALLOW) you to touch it whenever you wanted,” I answered. Alison said nothing to that. When she put on her jewelry, she looked like a princess. She moved gracefully as if her (FEET) didn’t touch the ground. Alison kissed me goodnight and left. I tried to resist my curiosity but I (COULD NOT). I opened the box. There (WERE) lots of rings, ear-rings, bracelets and necklaces inside. I got them all out. The (ONLY) piece of jewelry I tried on was a silver necklace. After that I lost track of time. Suddenly I (SAW) Alison. She was standing at the doorway and looking at me angrily. I (DID NOT KNOW) what to say. Many years have passed since that night. Now I am a designer – I create clothes and accessories. My sister likes my work very much.
