Passage 1
Dear all,
This message is just to confirm the details for the next few days. Dave’s picking up the van tomorrow and we’re loading it at his place at 10.00 on Friday morning. I’ve booked us all into The Tolly for one night. It’s a hotel near the university – in Welbeck Street. Steve and I are getting the 4.30 p.m. train. We’re stopping to check in at the hotel to pick up the keys and get changed at 6.00. We have to check out of the hotel by 9.00 on Saturday morning because they have a big group coming to the hotel. So we have to get up early, I’m afraid!
Dave and Paul, if you can’t get to the hotel by about 7.00, let’s meet in the cafe at the university at 7.30. We’ll set up the equipment at 8.00 for the gig and have a rehearsal.
See you all,
Mary

My grandfather was a completely different person before he had a stroke. He worked as a chief accountant, and he worked really long hours. People used to say that he was a workaholic. When he came home, he was always tired and this used to make him irritable. He didn’t use to be sociable at all. He used to spend a lot of time alone working in the garden. I used to be frightened of him as a child. He used to shout at us all the time. Then, suddenly he became ill, and then the doctors told him he had to give up work. He changed almost overnight.

Passage 3
Hi, Sharon,
I’ve only got 10 days left in England. Can you believe I’ve already been here for a year? There’s so much to do before I leave! I really must buy presents for my English friends to thank them for all their help. I have to move out of my room on Friday because Franco has got another tenant. At least I don’t have to find somewhere else to live. I’m going to spend a few days with friends. He is letting the whole flat because Mary is moving just before her marriage. The time has gone so quickly. I cannot believe that I’ve been here for a whole year. And I must start packing too – I have bought a lot since I came, and I need another suitcase. I’ll give some things to charity shops I think.
Anyway, I’m really writing to say that I’ll be back in Shanghai on the 27 April, and it would be great to see you to catch up on all our news. I’ll phone as soon as I get back.
