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 or 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 new 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 than 45 minutes, and I love being able to spend more time at home relaxing.

Hope to hear from you soon, take care!

Katie

Pag 196 n 6

 

Now turn on the car. Good. Now, start driving slowly. Remember, before leaving the car park you have to stop and look both ways, and then you use your indicator before driving out.

Good, now, turn left and go along the street. You must look in your rearview mirror regularly to see the cars behind you. Now, this is a roundabout. You mustn't drive fast, if you go too fast you risk an accident. Now, move forward and drive to the right.

You must put your indicator on left, to show you are continuing. Before leaving the roundabout, you must indicate right. Fine, now remember, you must obey the speed limit. Now here's a stop sign, so you must stop. At the next road you must turn left. The road to the right is a one-way street – you mustn't go that way.
