The following letter from Mike about his recent European vacation was sent to Linda.
Unfortunately, her dog chewed it up and now she needs to put it back in the right order. Can you
help her? Put the correct paragraph into each of the boxes in the missing parts. There are two extra
paragraphs you don't need. Write your answer in the box below the text.
Dear Linda,
8
How are things with you? It was great talking to you yesterday by phone.
76.
I can't wait to arrive in Athens to see all that history. Let me tell you something about where we
have visited so far. 77.
We started in England and we spent two days in London and another day in Canterbury. We saw a
lot of great history and the only bad thing was the weather - it rained for the whole time we were
there. Can you believe it?
78.
Well, I have to say I prefer the American Disneyland. But we met some nice people from Canada and
spent two great days with them. One of them, Clive, is going to your university next year. How's that
for a coincidence!
79.
After that, we went south into Switzerland. l lt was very expensive and we couldn't stay as long as we
wanted to, so that's why we're in Italy now!
80.
See you soon,
Mike
Paragraphs:
A. Clive and his wife left us once we got to Germany by train. They went up into Denmark but we
continued to Munich. Wow - what a great city. I bought you a surprise gift there. I hope you like
it.
B. As I told you yesterday, I am in Rome today. Tomorrow we are getting the train down into the
south of the country and then the ship across to Greece.
C. I paid nearly $200 for it but it looks magnificent and is made of real leather.
D. OK, that's enough from me for now. I want to post this letter now so you get it by the weekend.
E. At least when we got to Paris, the sun was shining! We only stayed for one afternoon in the French
capital because my friends really wanted to visit Euro Disney which is to the east of Paris.
F. I sent her a postcard last night. It had the Eiffel Tower on it, which she has always wanted to visit.
Now she can look at it on a postcard every day!
G. I know you want to come here on vacation too one day!

Places to go this summer
See what's on in the West Midlands this summer:
A - Stratford Butterfly Farm
The biggest butterfly farm in Europe. Whatever the weather come and see these beautiful creatures as
they would live in their natural environmént. Walk around a tropical rainforest as butterflies fly freely
around you. See them as they come into the world in the Caterpillar Room. And don't miss Insect
City where you can view huge spiders and our very own scorpion colony!
B - National Sea-Life Centre
You wouldn't expect to bump into a hammerhead shark whilst visiting Brum city centre. But yes, it's
true, The National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham is the only aquarium in the UK where you can see
this creature along with our Sea Dragons from Australia and baby stingrays from the Amazon. We
guarantee an experience you'll never forget.
D - Warwick Castle
Regarded by many as Britain's greatest Medieval Castle. Visit exhibitions, climb the castle towers,
relax as you walk around the gardens, designed and created in 1753 by Capability Brown.Experience
the preparations for battle in the Kingmaker exhibition or witness a Victorian Royal Weekend. And if
your interest is more in the darker side of the Castle's history visit The Castle Dungeon.
E - ThinkTank
At Thinktank you will find four floors of hands-on exhibits and historical collections that will amaze
and inspire you, showing you the science of the world all around us from the past, the present and the
future. From galleries and exhibitions tc an exciting programme of events and activities, there is
something for everyone to enjoy, whether' your interest is steam engines, looking into deepest space
or seeing how doctors perform life-saving surgery.
F - Drayton Manner
One of the UK's most popular attractions. The park is home to some of the scariest rides you'll find
like Stormforce 10 and Apocalypse, which has been voted the UK's most frightening ride. You'll also
find an indoor and outdoor play area and of course, Drayton Manor Zoo with over one hundred
different species, including twelve rare breeds from across the world.
• Check who the email is from. Were you expecting or hopping to hear from the sender? How
quickly do they expect you to respond?
• Check what the email is about. Is the subject urgent? Is it about an issue that falls within your
sphere of responsibility, or should it just be forwarded to someone else?
• Has the email been in your inbox for long? Check the message time.
An initial scan like this can help you identify the emails that require your prompt attention. The
others can be kept for reading at a more convenient time.
Replying in stages
Having prioritized your emails, you can answer them in stages, first with a brief acknowledgement
and then a more detailed follow-up. This is particularly advisable when dealing with complicated
matters where you don't want to give a rushed answer. If you decide to do this, tell the recipient a
definite date when you'll be able to get back to him or her and try to keep to this wherever possible.
Some emails are uncomplicated and only require a brief, one line answer, so it's a good idea to reply
to these immediately. For example, if all you need to say is, "yes, I can make the 10.00 meeting", or
"thanks, that's just the information I need", do it, if you are unable to reply there and then or choose
not to, let the sender know that you've received the message and will be in touch as soon as possible.
