ALTHOUG - SO - BECAUSE - BUT - HOWEVER -

Dear Jane,

It's wonderful to hear from you. Of course I remember you, it's been over ten years since or last meeting. Who gave you my address? It was great to learn a bit about you and your family. You asked what I'm doing at the moment, here's some of my news.

First of all - I married John! I know you never liked him very much, you'll probably be pleased to hear that we're now divorced. , we still see each other a lot we have two children. The twins are now six and they're good boys, of course, they're sometimes a bit difficult to handle.

We moved from Birmingham I didn't want the boys to grow up in a big city. Now, we live in an old farmhouse in Wales. It's really beautiful it's expensive to look after it's so old. John still lives in Birmingham, he often visits and the boys always spend part of their holidays with him.

I know you're busy I'd love to see you again. Maybe you can come over and meet my new husband. Yes, I'm married again. Do you remember Harry King ? I could never get on with him when we were young, we somehow fell in love. We got married a year ago.

Dear Jane,

It's wonderful to hear from you. Of course I remember you, ALTHOUGH it's been over ten years since or last meeting. Who gave you my address? It was great to learn a bit about you and your family. You asked what I'm doing at the moment, SO here's some of my news.

First of all - I married John! I know you never liked him very much, SO you'll probably be pleased to hear that we're now divorced. HOWEVER, we still see each other a lot BECAUSE we have two children. The twins are now six and they're good boys, ALTHOUGH of course, they're sometimes a bit difficult to handle.

We moved from Birmingham BECAUSE I didn't want the boys to grow up in a big city. Now, we live in an old farmhouse in Wales. It's really beautiful BUT it's expensive to look after BECAUSE it's so old. ALTHOUGH John still lives in Birmingham, he often visits and the boys always spend part of their holidays with him.

I know you're busy BUT I'd love to see you again. Maybe you can come over and meet my new husband. Yes, I'm married again. Do you remember Harry King ? ALTHOUGH I could never get on with him when we were young, we somehow fell in love. We got married a year ago.
