Part 1
Dear Hilda
1. I just (hear) that my mother isnt very well, and I (like) to go and see her.
The
trouble is I cant take my dog Tim with me. 2. You (think) you (be able) possibly
look after him for a week? 3. You (have) him for a week last year, you
(remember), and you (say) he (be) no trouble, and (get) on well with your dog.
4. If you (be able) have him, I (be able) bring him along any time that (suit) you.
5. He (have) his own bed and bowl, and I (bring) enough tinned dog food to last
him a week.
6. But if it (not be) convenient, (not hesitate) to say so. 7. There (be) quite good
kennels near here, and they (take) him if I (ask).8. He (be) there once before and
(seem) to get on all right.
Love,
Sarah
Part 2
Dear Sarah
9. I (be) very sorry to hear about your mothers illness, and (be) glad that you
(go) to Scotland to see how she is. 10. It (be) nice for her to see you.
11. Of course I (look) after Tim. 12. We thoroughly (enjoy) having him last year
and my dog (miss) him when he (leave0 and (look) for him everywhere. 13. Im
sure he (be) delighted to see him again.
14. You (bring) him on Tuesday afternoon? Or, if that (not suit), any time on
Wednesday. 15. (not bother) to bring dog food; I (have) plenty. 16. I hope you
(have) time to have tea with me when you (bring) Tim, and that by then you
(have) better news of your mother.
Love
Hilda
