A friend in need.

This is a story that happened long ago with Mr. Burton. One day a man,who was his namesake, came to him and asked for a job, as he was down and out. Mr. Burton did not want to give him a job, as he considered him good-for-nothing. When his namesake said that he had swum for his university, Mr. Burton had an idea. He told his namesake to swim from Shioya Club round the beacon and land at the creek of Tarumi. It was rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon. The namesake had to do this to get a job. He hesitated for a moment because he wasn’t in condition: he drank too much and ruined his health. But then he accepted his offer. When Mr.Burton appeared at the appointed time at the creek, his namesake was not there. He drowned. This story caused in me mixed feelings.

My experience as a fresher.

Dear Fatima, I want to tell you about my experience as a fresher. As you know, the first day is always exciting, because you do not know what awaits you. I was very worried and thought a lot about how my first day would pass, and all the following days at the university in general. On the first day it was very difficult for me to find the right audience, but I got used to it eventually and began to find them easily. I also learned a lot of subjects that I hadn’t studied before or studied, but superficially.I was also worried if I could find a common language with my groupmates, if I could get along with them. Fortunately, the girls were very good and sociable. We quickly found a common language. For a long time it was difficult for me to get used to this new stage in my life, but now everything has fallen into place and I do not regret that I entered this faculty. I hope I did not bore you with my letter. I would like to know how your acquaintance with the university went and w...

Exercise 15(b)

After reading Judy’s last letter, you can see that it differs from the previous one. Now she is not the same naive girl as she was in her first year. She is now focused only on learning and self-development. She also changed her attitude to Daddy. Judy writes more seriously, without unnecessary details. Now she writes strictly on the case. Speaking about the last line in her letter, I think that she was serious about this, because she was seriously engaged in her development, and the slightest failure could make her doubt herself.
