She's going to spend a few weeks there and then she's coming home. She's having a really good time. Jason (i) in love with a lovely girl called Rosene! He (j) her at a party last week, and he thinks she's the most beautiful girl he (k) ever . I don't know how long the romance will last - we'll see!
Maggie has some good news, too! She (I) first prize in a ballet exam. The exam was last week. She (m) go to the Royal Bal-let School in London for the whole day, and this morning we (n) a letter saying that she had won, so we're all delighted.
The last bit of news is that Pickles (the dog) (o) puppies! Three of them. They're gorgeous, but we don't know what to do with them!
I hope you’re all well. Write soon.

Дорогая Мэри

Как твои дела? Я уже давно не получал от тебя вестей, поэтому решил написать тебе пару строк и поделиться нашими новостями. Самое главное, что сказать тебе - мы (б) нашли новый дом, чтобы купить! Мы (с) ходили посмотреть его на неделе, и мы думаем, что он замечательный. Мы (d) договорились о цене вчера вечером, и если нам немного повезет, мы можем быть в нём через пару месяцев. Мы еще не пытались продать наш дом, но я не думаю, что это будет трудно. Я собираюсь сегодня днем в...

Знаешь ли ты, что Джоанна, наша старшая дочь, была на Дальнем Востоке в течение последних шести месяцев? Она была в Мельбурне некоторое время, но теперь она (Г) покинула Австралию и (Н) отправилась в Индонезию. Она проведет там несколько недель, а потом вернется домой. Она действительно хорошо проводит время. Джейсон (я) влюбился в прекрасную девушку по имени Розен! Он (Джей) встретил ее на вечеринке на неделе, и думает, что она самая красивая девушка, которую он (к) когда-либо видел. Я не знаю, как долго продлится этот роман - посмотрим!

У Мэгги тоже есть хорошие новости! Она (я) получила первую премию на балетном конкурсе. Конкурс был на неделе. Она (М) ходила в Королевскую школу балета в Лондоне на целый день, и сегодня утром мы (Н) получили письмо, в котором говорилось, что она выиграла, так что мы все в восторге.

Последняя новость заключается в том, что у Пиклза (собаки) (о) появились щенки! Их было трое. Они великолепны, но мы не знаем, что с ними делать!

Надеюсь, у тебя все в порядке. Пиши скорее.

Люблю

Джеймс
