1st T's Correction of Formal Letter 1 by D. Ristovski

Dear Mr Filth,
In your offer you told that you need some students who know English very well. I think I can improve my English in this camp.
I study English for 15 years in Lingva, private school, witch is a member of YALS. Teachers from school told me that I have exellent knowledge of English and that I can work at an American summer camp for children. I have some experience with young children under the age of 12. When I was on some Explorers expedition for children witch are students in primary schools in Valjevo. I was ellected for a guide when we where on highest point of Durmitor (2535 meters). Everyone where happy and proud of me because it was very hard to keep them.
I was in the music school for six years, so I can tell the children what is interesting for them, what kind of music is good for them. Also my basketball team was 2nd in Yugoslavia on competition in Belgrade, so I can show them some trics in this sport.
If you call me , I think you will be saticfide with me …


Your faithfully,
Danilo

Dear friend,

I’m surprised that you’ll come to visit us. It take a long time since I was in your beautiful country. I can imagine how hot is down there. Perfect weather for swimming and sunburning in clean asure sea.
√ Now, I have some obligations on March 14th, but I think I will have some free time to meet you at the airport. If I don’t come, than I’ll tell my friend to meet you at 16.00. He has a very long, curly, black hair.
And, in the end, something about presents. I hope this will not be very sellfish and unkind from me. You’ll surprised my parents if you give these presents: for my mom, some T- shirt with a tittle printed on it (for example it can be name of your contry or some famous actor from Australia); for my dad some music records (jazz or opera), if it’s not expensive; for my younger brother some kangaroo toy; and for me ... it’s your choice, but if you don’t have an idea - a book of Australia with pictures in colour. √ Thank you for everything, and see you soon!

Yours
Danilo

Dear Dea,

I am not surprised becouse starting something new is very hard.You didn’t give me enough informations about your problems, but I will try to help you.
You wrote me that there is so much things to do and I didn’t understand do you think on your college or your personal life? You must plan your time better.What do you think about making to-do list for each day? Also it is very important to pay attention on classes. It is very good becouse you don’t have to study to much at home and teachers like quite children.You should ask your teacher about problems with studing.Then they will see that you are interested in classes and subjects. If you can’t study in house I suggest you to go to the library. It is the best place for studing.You said that you don’t have money.Why don’t you find holiday job? It’s not so hard and you’ll get enough money.
I wish you all the best and write me soon

Your Katarina

Dear pen friend,
I have heard that you had some problems with this school year in college.Well, it is not so easy as the previous schools. Now you have to study more than in the primary school.The teachers are very strict, so you have to be very carefull on classes.
The first thing you have to respect the teachers. Teachers like children who pays attention on classes, and its also better for you becouse you understand everything in class and you dont have to learn at home. I also suggest you to talk with teachers, becouse they like to be asked. If your house is full and you dont have a place to study you can use the school library. Its always silent and the best place to study.You also have to plan your time better.When you come from school, you should start with learning at the moment you enter your room.You would be ready earlyer and you would have the whole day to rest.
So that would be all for now and I wish you all the best for the next school year.
Yours friend,
Pedja

Noting was ever the same again after that morning when the letter arrived.One nice morning I was woken up by a door bell,when I open it I sow a post man,he was holding a letter,I took it out of the his hands and went inside of the house.I sett on the couch and open it,it was a letter.I started to read it,it was from my old school friend telling me that he was in trouble.He had neden money to pay out his debth.He was not telling me how he managed to spend that kind of money,o I almost forgot to tell you he was asking me for about 500000.00 american dollars.When I went to meet him he was all brused up,when he tried to sey something to me a car drove by and some one started shooting,he was hit and I was to.After that an ambulance came and took us to a hospital, he died on operating table,I survived.And like I said noting was ever the same again after that.
