Dear Giles,
I just hade to write and let you know that I got the job at the law firm I was telling you about.
The interview was a bit odd because the other cane date, Mr Dalziell-Smythe, and myself, were interviewed together and I must admit I felt a bit concerned when turned out that both he and the interviewer were 1) old boys from Eton. Mr D.S. was a terrible snob too, ant made it obvious that he thought I was 2) from the wrong side of the tracks as soon as I mentioned that was from Brixton. However, I needn't have worried as the 3) smart alec soon 4) put his foot in it when he told the interviewer that he thought the current legal system was old-fashioned and needed updating. The interviewer was clearly offended and responded by saying that being 5) of the old school he rather admired the traditional legal ways. This comment seemed to 6) put Mr D.S. in his place as he didn't say much after that.
I felt even better when I realised that Mr D.S. was 7) all at sea as far as canon law was concerned. Fortunately, I've been studying so hard that I 8) know the subject inside out, and I made sure that the interviewer knew that too!
The firm's head office called me this morning to tell me that I've been accepted and that they'd like me to go back tomorrow morning as they want me to 9) learn the ropes as soon as possible. I'll probably ask them to tell me a bit more about the firm too, as the interviewer barely had time to 10) scratch the surface last week.
I'll write again soon to let you know how I'm getting along.
Regards, Craig

Meet my family. There are five of us – my parents, my elder brother, my baby sister and me. First, meet my mum and dad, Jane and Michael. My mum enjoys reading and my dad enjoys playing chess with my brother Ken. My mum is slim and rather tall. She has long red hair and big brown eyes. She has a very pleasant smile and a soft voice. My mother is very kind and understanding. We are real friends. She is a housewife. As she has three children, she is always busy around the house. She takes care of my baby sister Meg, who is only three months old. My sister is very small and funny. She sleeps, eats and sometimes cries. We all help our mother and let her have a rest in the evening. Then she usually reads a book or just watches TV. My father is a doctor. He is tall and handsome. He has short dark hair and gray eyes. He is a very hardworking man. He is rather strict with us, but always fair. My elder brother Ken is thirteen, and he is very clever. He is good at Maths and always helps me with it, because I can hardly understand all these sums and problems. Ken has red hair and brown eyes. My name is Jessica. I am eleven. I have long dark hair and brown eyes. I am not as clever as my brother, though I try to do my best at school too. I am fond of dancing. Our dancing studio won The Best Dancing Studio 2015 competition last month. I am very proud of it. I also like to help my mother with my little sister very much. Our family is very united. We love each other and always try to spend more time together.
