Dear Aldi,
I told you that I was going to England, but actually I was heading for Scotland. I applied for a job and
I went for an interview yesterday. The manager and the factory supervisor interviewed us. At first I
found it difficult to understand them but I managed to answer all their questions. I’ll know on Friday
before I return whether I get the job or not.
Tomorrow I plan to go the National Museum of Scotland, the Palace of Holy Roodhouse, and the
Queen’s residence when she’s in Scotland. I’m going to spent a few more days here enjoying the city

flowers are fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to see them in bloom. Its buds take up to 10 months
to develop while its blossom lasts for just a few days.
Rafflesia has brownish, scale like leaves and fleshy, smelling flowers of various sizes, from few inches
to meter big in diameter. We usually notice its large fleshy flowers. There is a deep well in the centre of the
flowers. The sexual organs are located beneath the rim of the disk. Male and female flowers are separate.
