Hi Wendy!
Just a quick email to tell you that I've finally moved house. My new address is 12 Jackson Lane, Pennington. But obviously you can still email me at this address.
I'm enjoying life in a small village after London. Of course when I was in London I could do anything I wanted - I could go to the theatre of the cinema, meet friends, eat out, follow an evening course, do any sport. Here in Pennington I can't really do those things easily. But I hope that when I get my car next week I'll be able to travel to nearby towns and take advantage of the things on offer. I enjoy being able to take a walk in the woods when I want and getting home from work in only 10 minutes. In London I couldn't get home from work in less that 45 minutes and I love being able to spend more time at home relaxing. Hope to hear from you soon, take care!
Katie.

JILL: Hi Jackie, what's the problem?
JACKIE: I've just argued with Helen. I'm really worried about her.
JILL: Your sister? Why have you argued? what's wrong?
JACKIE: She's spending all her time on Internet. I'm worried she's got into a chatroom or something. She won't tell me what she does for six or five hours a day.
JILL: That's bad. Shall I speak to her?
JACKIE: Would you do that? That's great, thanks. I'll tell you all the details. She won't listen to me.
JILL: Ok. Would you like me to speak to your mum too?
JACKIE: Well, I don't want to worry my mum now. But if Helen refuses to talk you, I'll tell her.
JILL: Are you sure it's a chat and not research for school?
JACKIE: When I look at the screen all I see are little boxes full of words. That not a research. And I looked at her school work. It's terrible!
JILL: I see. Shall I speak to her tomorrow afternoon? Would you call me when she gets home?
JACKIE: Oh yes, great. Thanks Jill. Would you mind not telling anyone about this?
