Dear Jack,
How are you? I hope you’re fine. I’m not very happy. I’m still working in the laboratory. I can’t stand 0 working there! It’s so boring! I don’t like 10___________ a biologist – I’d prefer 11___________ a computer games tester like you. I could work on my own at home then. I don’t like my colleagues and I do everything I can to avoid 12___________ any of my workmates outside the lab. However, one of them is getting married next week and I promised 13___________ to the wedding reception.
So, now I need 14___________ him a present … Maybe you could 15___________ me to choose something interesting?
Thanks,
Tom
