I haven't heard from you for (0) ​some ​ time so I thought I'd get in touch. There's 
hardly (I) ​any ​ time left until our exams and for weeks it seems as if I've done (2) 
anything ​but study. The teachers keep reminding us that (3) ​none ​of the exams

there's (4) ​nothing ​ I can do except keep working. When the exams are over I'm 
going to take (5) ​some ​time off and go on holiday with (6) ​a few ​ people in my 
class. (7) ​none ​of us care where we go as long as it's somewhere warm! Anyway, 
why haven't I heard (8) ​anything ​from you? Are you seeing (9) ​someone ​ these 
days? I was going out with (10) ​someone ​but that finished a few weeks ago. Just 
as well I have (I I) ​no ​time for a social life at the moment and I won't have (12) 
any ​ until these exams are over!

"I come from a large family. (o) ​Both ​parents are doctors but they're retired 
now so (1) ​neither ​ of them practises any longer. I have two sisters but I don't 
think (2) ​neither ​ of them will go to university as they're (3) ​both ​ married and (4) 
each ​ of them has a child - one sister has a little boy and the other has a girl. 
Because I'm my parent’s only son, (5) ​every ​ person in the family expected I'd go 
to medical school - so that's what I did. When I graduated, my (6) ​whole ​family 
came to the ceremony. My parents (7 ) ​both ​come from a large family so I have 
a lot of aunts, uncles and cousins - and almost (8) ​all ​of them came to the 
ceremony too. Afterwards we had a party at our house. (9) ​each ​guest brought 
something to eat and to my surprise. They'd (10) ​all ​ brought me a gift! The best 
part of the (11) ​whole ​ day, though, was having (12) ​every ​room in the house filled 
with family that I hadn't seen for ages."
