Hi there!
How are you? I’m feeling quite sick at the moment. Why? Because I’ve got an exam tomorrow.
I stopped (1) (study) so I could have a break. I need to relax and stop thinking about
studying and exams all the time.
I really hate exams. Do you remember (2) (take) that Maths exam last year? It was
terrible. My mind went completely blank. I’ll never forget feeling helpless and panicky. I think
it was the worst day of my life, honestly! I remember (3) (think) that I would
fail, and my life would be over. You probably think I’m being overdramatic and I should stop
exaggerating, but that’s how I felt.
Anyway, I wanted to email you about an idea I have for the summer, after the exams. I like
(4) (have) something to look forward to! I’m trying to plan a camping trip with Sara
and Tony. Do you like (5) (camp)? If so, do you want to come? I like spending time
with all of you, so it would be a real treat after all our weeks of studying and exams. I’ll try
(6) (organise) some dates in the next few days. Can you let me know when you’re
free? I’d like to book the holiday as soon as possible.
Oh, and I forgot (7) (mention), do you think we could borrow your parents’ tent?
I don’t have one!
OK, I’d better stop writing this to do some more revision now. Don’t forget (8)
(email) me back about the camping trip! And remember to ask your parents about the tent!
Love,
Hannah
