Fill in: quite, rather, pretty or fairly. I took my dog Spot for a walk even though it was (1) cold outside. He’s (2) lively dog and he likes going for a run (3) often. The park was (4) full considering the bad weather, but it’s a (5) big park and we had (6) enough space. Suddenly the dog ran off and I had to chase him for (7) a long time. I’m a (8) good runner, but he’d gone (9) a long way and, when I eventually caught him, I was (10) exhausted!

7. I (looked) out before I (went) to bed and (saw) a man standing on the opposite pavement watching the house. When I (got up) the following morning he (was) still there, and I (wondered) whether he (had been staying) there all night or if he (had gone) away and (come) back. When I (opened) the door I (saw) a man on his knees. He was clearly (listening) to our conversation and I (wondered) how much he (had heard). When I (asked) him what he (was doing), he (said) that he (had dropped) a 50p piece outside the door and (was looking) for it. I (di not see) any sign of the money, but I (found) a small notebook and pencil which he probably (dropped) when the door (was opened) suddenly. So he (had been taking) notes of our conversation! The notes (were) written in a foreign language, so I (turned) to the stranger and (asked) him to translate. But he (pulled) my hat over my eyes and (ran) off down the corridor. By the time I (recovered) from the shock he (had disappeared) round the corner. Curiously enough, when I (moved) my foot I (found) that I (was standing) on a 50p piece. Perhaps he (had told) the truth after all!

Dear friend,
Thank you for your letter. Its so nice to get news about you and your family. 
You asked me about  spending free time. I would advice you go to the theatre.My parents and I like to go to the theatre. And we often go for a walk after visiting the theatre. We discuss the play which we have seen. We also enjoy meet with our family friends. They are very merry and we always have a good time with them. So I spend a lot of time with my parents.
  Do your family has a family friend? What places do you like to visit with your friends? Have you got a best friend?   
Well, I must finish now. I must help my dad. Write me back soon
 Good luck,
 Alexander
