Dear Janet,
Thank you for your letter. I'm (1) always very happy (2) to hear from you. Everything you do is so exciting.
I'm sitting (3) at the moment doing my homework. I'm waiting for mother so that we can have dinner together.
School is rather boring (4) with a lot to do. I do the same things (5) every day. I (6) always get up at the same time in the morning and I travel to school (7) every day by tube. I have the same subjects at school and I (8) usually have lunch in the school canteen. (9) Twice a week I go to the cinema and (10) once a month I go to Brighton to see you. Never mind. Our spring holidays start (11) next week and we are having a school party in June! At least that's exciting.
I look forward (12) to hearing from you soon.
Love, Joy

Friendship is one of the best things in life. Everybody needs a good friend’s shoulder to cry on, or simply someone to share the joys and sorrows with.

Friendship is a complex notion. People can quarrel or have some kind of conflict and still stay friends. And others, who never argue with each other, can soon split up. The same can be said about the relations among friends. Those friends, who tell you the truth even when it’s bitter, are more likely to care about you, than those who don’t. For me friendship is round-the-clock concept. If I’m friends with someone, he or she can always rely on me. My friends can call me late at night to tell about their problems. They can ask me for help or support. I am lucky to have two best friends who would do the same for me. We know each other from the kindergarten and we’ve been through many difficult situations. I hope that we will stay true friends for a lifetime or at least for a very long time. My mum often tells me that friendship is like a tree. It means that under good conditions it will grow and become rather strong. As the years pass, the tree can stand firmer and
