Dear Kate,

I’m having a great time in England! I’m staying at my friend’s house in a small town (1) not far from London. The weather isn’t very good here. It’s cold and it often rains (2). But it’s not a problem because I have got some warm sweaters, a coat and waterproof (3) boots.

I’ve already met a lot of new friends. We went to London two days ago (4). This city is fantastic! We visited St Paul’s Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. We are going to London again next Friday because I haven’t been to the British Museum yet (5). I want to visit it so much!

Yesterday we had a Halloween party. It’s a traditional (6) British holiday which people celebrate on the 31st of October (7). Children love it very much. We dressed as witches and ghosts (8), played games and ate sweets, cakes (9) and fruit.

I’ve taken a lot of photos (10) of my new friends and the places I have visited. I’ve also bought you some nice souvenirs.

That’s all for now.

Love,

Ann

 There are many interesting and noble (1) professions. I want to be a doctor. It is an interesting profession.
   I understand that it is necessary (2) to study a lot to become a doctor. I also understand that this profession requires (3) great responsibility (4) because it deals with the most precious thing one has — with his health.
   My grandfather is a doctor and he works as a surgeon (6) in hospital. I have been several times at the hospital and spent some time watching him working.
   His main task is to operate on people. After each operation he takes care of the patients until they recover (7). He examines people and gives them professional advice. After operation people should follow his instructions. My grandfather says, if your health is good, you are always in good mood. It is very important for everybody.
   He is always kind and attentive to his patients. People feel that and trust him. That is why it is easier to treat them.
   I know that he wants to see all his patients able-bodie notice that he is happy when his patients recover.
   My grandfather can also help if somebody has caught a cold or has got a fever. He told me a lot of true stories about doctors and their profession:
   I love and respect my grandfather and I want to become a doctor as well. I'll do my best to help people who have problems with their health.
