A.. Anyway, I've got to go now. Loads of homework (unfortunately!)

C. Carol

D. Dear Sally,

E. Write back soon!

F. Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you! Well done on passing your exams!

G. I think you need to ask yourself one question: what's more important- that argument or your friendship? I remember when I asked myself that it all became clear. I realized my friendship with Chris was far more important. I called him immediately and told him. We became friends again immediately. Maybe you should do the same thing. Let me know what happens! Good luck!

Dear Paul, I'm sorry I haven't written for such a long time, but I've been really busy with my new job as a hotel receptionist. Actually, that's what I'm writing to tell you about.   I'm working at a lovely hotel in the city centre. I started there two weeks ago. The job involves answering the phone, making bookings and answering guests' questions - you know the sort of thing, I'm sure. I'm really enjoying it, actually. All the people I work with are very nice and have been very helpful to me. The hotel manager has been especially kind. There's also one woman who's become quite a good friend already. She's a waitress called Sandra, and we get on like a house on fire!   Anyway, that's all my news for the moment, but I promise I'll write again soon. I hope you and your family are well. Keep in touch!   Best wishes, Amelia

10th December   Dear Vic, Hi - how are you? What are you doing this New Year's Eve? Jean and I have decided to hold a party at home this year, and we'd love it if you and Monica could come.   We're planning quite a small party with our old  school friends, so you'll know all of the guests. There'll be lots to eat and drink, of course. We've decided to give the party a Mexican theme, and we thought that a variety of Mexican dishes would be perfect, since all of our friends love spicy food. Jean's already started planning the menu, making decorations and so on.   You'll probably be coming by train, won't you? Just give us a ring from the station when you arrive, and I'll come and pick you up. I expect the party will go on quite late, so of course you will need to stay the night. Don't worry, though - there's plenty of room for both of you.    Well, I really hope you can make it, Vic. Do try and come - it seems ages since we last saw you both! Please let me know as soon as possible if you'll be able to join us. Lots of love, Mark

Paragraph 2

A plans and preparations for the party В the other guests who will be there С Mexican food and decorations

Paragraph 3

A the easiest way to get to Mark's house В specific arrangements for Vic and Monica С how long the party will last
