The followig text for questions number 1 to 3

Edinburgh

19 Oct. 2010

Dear Johan,

I told you that I was going to England, but actually I was heading for Scotland. I applied for a job and I went for an interview yesterday. The manager and the factory supervisor interviewed me. At first I found it difficult to understand them but I managed to answer all their questions. I’ll know on Friday before I return whether I got a job or not.

Tomorrow I plan to go to the National Museum of Scotland, the Palace of Holy Roodhouse that’s the Queen’s residence when she’s in Scotland.

I’m going to spent a few more days here enjoying the city which I hope will become my home for the next few years.

I’ll ring you when I hear something about my job on Friday.

Bye

Pieter

The followig text for questions number 4 to 6

Dear Roza

Thank you for your letter of 15^th May. Sorry I did not reply your letter sooner. I’ve been very busy lately. Every school holiday I have to visit my grandmother in Pakujati, a village at the foot Mount Slamet in Central Java. Sometimes I go there my parents. Last holiday we visited them again. We went there by train. Let me tell you something about it.

The landscape looks beautiful. The terraces of large paddy fields with their colorful scarecows and tall bamboo trees at certain corner seem magnificent. It is different from our crowded city, isn’t it?

The people, most of them are farmers, are very kind. They spend most of their time in the paddy fields. They really like to work hard. To me, going to Pakujati is interesting. Don’t you want to join me one day?

I hope you will.

Warmly yours

Fanny
