Dear Bob,
Thanks very much 1.       the postcard you sent me six weeks 2.        . I was really pleased to hear 3.          you and to read about your holiday. I've been 4.          busy that I haven't had much time for writing emails, but now I've got a spare half hour.
Do you remember that I wasn't happy with my old job? I've 5.           looking for something better for a 6.             months, and at 7.            I've been offered a job - as a trainee manager in a retail chain that sells clothes. I'll be working near home, 8.             is good, because it'll mean I'll spend 9.              time travelling than I used to. I'm looking 10.          to starting.
11.              else you'll be interested to hear is that I'm learning to play the classical guitar, after talking about it ever 12.               I was ten years old! I'm having lessons at the local college. I'm really enjoying it, but it'll be a long time before I'm good 13.              to play to you. That reminds 14.             , I've got a lesson this afternoon, so I'd 15.             practise for a while.
Hope you're having a good time.
All the best
Marian
