DearMark,

Greetings from Madrid! It's hot and I'm having the time of my life!

The town is great. I have already visited the Prado Mu­seum and I liked it a lot. I must say I'm not too happy with the food. I hate sea food and dislike paella. But never mind.

What are vou up to? Hope your holidays are just as great.

Love.

Robert

Dear Aunt Helen,

I would like to send very warm greetings from Madrid. The weather is stunningly beautiful and I am truly enjoying my stay in this magnificent town.

I have already visited the Prado Museum. I was most impressed. The only thing I am not too happy about is the food. I do not particularly like sea food and I am rather not fond of paella. But everything else is absolutely perfect.

I hope vou are in good health.

Wishing vou all the best.

Dear Ian,

Greetings from Rome! I'm living in a small hotel not far from the Colloseum. It's next to a beautiful park, where I can get a rest in the shade of cypress trees after a long day of sightseeing in the sweltering heat.

I've already seen the monumental ruins of the Roman Forum but I haven't visited any museums yet.

I'll give you a ring on Saturday, July 22nd, at about 10 p.m. I'm anxious to hear how things are and, obviously, I'm worried aboutAzorek.

Love and kisses,

DearBetty,

Finally we moved into our new flat! It's on the 2nd floor of a big block of flats in a quiet neighbourhood, not far from the city centre.

The flat is just lovely. It's got three rooms, a rather spacious living room with a fireplace, an airy kitchen, a bathroom and an amazingly big balcony.

My room is all in pink, my favourite colour. On my window sill there is a clay pot with lavender. The smell of lavender is very relaxing. The room isn't fully furnished yet. I'm still looking fora computer desk.

I hope you will visit me soon. How about a two-week holiday in Wroclaw in the summer?

Love,

Dear Auntie Helen,

Yesterday I took the last of my 'matura' - school leavers' exams. The exams were not too difficult maybe except for Polish. We were given a philosophical text to read and I'm not sure whether I got all the answers in the comprehension test correct.

My plane to Canada leaves on Wednesday, 30 June, at 5 p.m. and is due to land in Toronto at 10 a.m. your time. So I'm heading for Canada in only a week's time! I haven't packed yet. I'd like to buy some maps before I go.

Is there anything I could bring for you? I'll phone you Saturday evening to confirm the dates and ask if you've got any special wishes. See you soon.

Best wishes,

Dear David, Jane, Andrew and Mike,

We wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

We've been very busy with our jobs and family life this year. Our grandma presented us with a puppy - a little Dalmatian, Aza. At first we took turns to walk her every two hours day and night. She got more stable with walks.

I passed the university entrance exam this year. I'm very proud of myself because I am now a sociology student.

Would you like to join us on our summer holidays. We're going to go camping to the south of France. The destination is not definite yet.

With much love,

Dear Tom,

So it's your 18th birthday next week. Many happy returns of the day and may all your birthday wishes come true.

Are you planning anything special this year or is it going to be a party on your dad's yacht as in previous years? Yesterday I sent you a present by air mail. I'm afraid it will take some time before it reaches you, however.

Do consider coming for a holiday to Poland this year. We could go to the Mazury Lake District to sail a bit. If you come, I promise I will throw a party the like no one has heard of in Kraków before.

Hope to see you soon.

Yours,

XYZ

Dear Sam,

I've come up with an idea to invite some of my school friends and organise an English tea party for them with English spoken only. We need to practise speaking before our finals so I thought such a party would be of interest. I'd like my party to be as English as possible. Here I need your advice. Shall I invite everyone for 5 or is a later hour acceptable? I'm not sure how to brew tea the English way. I know the tea is made in a tea pot but how many spoonfuls of tea shall I put in it? When do you add milk to your tea: Do you pour the milk first or the tea first into your cup? What kind of snack can I serve? I heard about cucumber sandwiches. How do you make them? Finally, what do the English talk about at such parties: is it the weather or politics?

Dear Explorer 2,

My sincere congratulations for the programme about dogs you presented yesterday evening. While you were trying to answer one of the most intriguing questions why dogs can communicate with people better than other animals, I realised how little we know about the world that surrounds us. I would like to listen to similar programmes more often as I believe there are too few opportunities to learn interesting facts about creatures that live so close to us. Next time I would love to hear something about the life of flies or mosquitoes or any other creature whose life we take for granted. XYZ

Dear Melisa,

Hi - how are you? I hope you are having a great summer. I had a fantastic time in Jaworki (in the Polish mountains). Well, we stayed on a sheep farm, not in a hotel, but I must admit it was fantastic. In the evening, when the sheep returned from the pasture, we helped the shepherd (Polish: baca) to milk them. He showed us how to make sheep cheese (oscypek). It tastes lovely when fresh.

We spent most of the days hiking in the mountains. We also learnt how to ride a horse. It was good fun except for the few times when I fell off and hit my bum. I've still got bruises.

The night before we left we made a bonfire. We sang highlanders'songs and jumped overthe fire.

We had a wonderiul time. I'll send you some photographs later. Take care-and write soon!

Dear Mrs Jennings,

I'm writing to thankyou fora wonderful stay at your B&B.

The room was very comfortable. It was so relaxing to sit in the deep armchair and read a thriller from your collection late at night. Through the open window I could see the dark sky lit with thousands of stars and listen to birds singing. Before I went to bed you always asked if I wanted hot chocolate to have sweet dreams.

You created a truly homely atmosphere. It was an honour to be your guest at your birthday party. Moreover I'll always remember the trip we took to the Welsh coast. Despite the cold wind we took a bath in the freezing sea water and managed to carry out a long discussion about life.

After the first week in that city I felt really disappointed with all its tourist attractions. The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Galleries were so overcrowded you couldn't really appreciate them. Even in the most awaited Musee d'Orsay with its Impressionist collection it was impossible to stop and study the paintings properly without being pushed over by other visitors.

And then I found my way to the Rodin Museum in a mansion surrounded by a beautiful garden. Although it is in the middle of a hectic city, the place seemed peaceful!. I spent the whole day thinking of the sculptures exhibited there. I know that I'm not original but I liked especially the two most famous works of Rodin, The Thinker andThe Kiss.

If you ever go to Paris, that museum is a must. I'll never forgetit.

Yours,

XYZ

DearMathew,

You'll never guess what happened to me last weekend.

My friends and I decided to go cross-country skiing to the Gorce Mountains last Saturday. We started in Koninki, from where we took a lift, and were heading towards Turbacz, the highest peak in the range. On our way we were talking cheerfully and laughing a lot.

Suddenly we heard a strange noise. It reminded us of heavy trucks but we thought it absurd. The path we were going along was rather narrow as on both of its sides there were big snow drifts. The noise stopped so we went on. And then from behind a sharp bend we could see some roaring machines moving at high speed towards us. My friend shouted, "Watch out! Snowmobiles!" We thrust ourselves into the deep drifts. We certainly looked funny all covered in snow with the skis overourheads.

It was a really narrow escape. I still haven't recovered from the shock.

Yours,

XYZ

Dear Sir/Madam, 15May2004

I am writing with reference to your advertisement in The World of English, offering an English Language and Theatre course. I am interested in the course very much and would like some further information.

Firstly, I would like to know a little more about the course schedule. For instance, could you please tell me how long the course lasts, and how many hours a week it in volves ? I would also like to know whether there are classes on Saturdays.

In addition, I would appreciate information about the organised trips mentioned in your advertisement. I am interested to know which cities you will visit. Could you also inform me if students are allowed to invite their friends to join them on these trips?

With thanks for your time and assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir/Madam, 20April2004

We are writing to request some support in our search for a sponsor of the bicycle tour around Ireland.

We are students of the Zofia Nałkowska Lyceum in Kraków and last year we founded the School's Irish Club. The club meetings are held once a week. We watch films, listen to music and learn Irish folk dances. Recently, we have considered studying Gaelic but finding materials turned out to be impos­sible.

We would like to set off for Ireland these holidays. Our plan is to take bicycles and ride from Dublin to the south of the island. We are going to sleep in tents and we have managed to save some money to buy food on our tour. However, we cannot afford to cover the tra vel expenses from Poland to Dublin.

If it were possible for you to suggest any institution that could be of assistance in that matter we would be most grateful.

Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

XYZ

Dear Sir/Madam, 25July2004

I am writing to complain about the service I received on the Gatwick Express last Sunday.

I was going on the 7.30 train from London to Gatwick airport to catch my plane to Poland. The train was delayed by half an hour. As a result I reached the airport too late to catch myplane.

I still do not understand why the train stopped halfway and did not move for half an hour. I made enquiries about it at the customer service but was not given a satisfactory explanation. The argument used by a customer assistant that there had been some lea ves on the track sounds ridiculous.

As I was forced by LOT Polish airlines to buy another ticket formy flight I strongly demand a refund from your company.

Yours faithfully,

XYZ

Dear Mr Modrzewski, 15 May 2004

I am writing to request a letter of reference from you.

I used to be your student in your 1999 class at the Zofia Nałkowska Lyceum in Kraków. At the beginning I was the worst student but later I much improved and wrote a script in English of a performance based on George Mikes's How to Be an Alien. It was a great success at the School's Theatre Festival in 2000.

Now I am a student of geography at the Jagiellonian University. Recently, I have been given a chance to continue my studies at Boston College. Since school times I have been interested in migration and going to the United States would allow me to learn more about the situation of immigrants there. Therefore, I would be most grateful if you could write a letter of reference and send it to Boston College. Please find enclosed a stamp addressed envelope.

Thank you in advance.

Yours sincerely,

XYZ

Dear Mrs Spencer, 15April2004

I am writing to apply for the position of tour guide which was advertised in this week's issue offheRoker Gazette.

/ am a nineteen-year-old student from Kraków. This spring I am taking the school leavers' examination. I speak fluent English and French. In summer I am visiting my uncle in England for two months. In July I am going to attend a summer course and in August I am planing to take up a summer job and do some sightseeing. The advertised job would give me the opportunity to combine both.

Last summer I wgrked as a guide in the National Museum, Kraków, showing the collection to foreign visitors.

As my references show, I am a hardworking and reliable person. I also enjoy meeting people and am considered to be friendly and enthusiastic.

I enclose my CV and would be glad to attend an interview at any time convenient to you in July.

Yours sincerely,

XYZ
