       Dear Mary,

       Thanks a lot for your letter. Sorry I have not written for so long. I’ve been busy with my studies and exam. Sorry to learn about your aunt’s house that got ruined by a tornado.

       Well, I think earthquakes and floods are the most horrible natural disasters. Thankfully, none of the occur in the place I live. But guess what, there are some guidelines on what to do when they do happen, that prepares oneself better to face them.

       Did you congratulate your history teacher for her award? Who gave award to your history teacher? Did your history teacher give a speech at the award ceremony?

       Well, I’d better go now, as I have to finish my homework.

       Hope to hear from you soon.

       Best wishes,

       Elena
