my local newspaper when I saw one of a job for an English school
administrator. As you know, I've been looking for a job (7)___ I could use my
English. So I applied and got it. I really enjoy this job and I've already learnt

everybody that the wedding's cancelled. How (15)___! I wonder if she'll have
given him back that gorgeous ring. (16)___, I suppose it's better that they've
split up now rather than after the wedding!

(17)___ from that, everything’s fine here in Berlin. It's getting warmer and I'm
looking (18)___ to going on holiday next month. Don't forget you're always
