[00:07.62]Hi Clare,
[00:09.19]How are things? Why haven't you been in touch?
[00:12.18]You're had my mail for ages!
[00:14.65]What have you been doing during the holidays?
[00:16.79]And how are you getting on withyour cousin?
[00:19.10]I hope things are a bit better
[00:20.64]and she isn't still borrowing your clothes
[00:22.31]without asking all the time.

[00:25.13]I expect you have been working hard
[00:26.75]for your exams!
[00:28.23]Hee hee. I've finished most of mine,
[00:31.07]so I can sit back and relax (a bit anyway).
[00:34.67]At least by the time I get back
[00:36.52]I will have read that awfully² boring book
[00:39.04]that my history teacher has made me read
[00:40.83]over the holidays.

[00:43.12]I've been staying with my family here
[00:44.93]on the coast.
[00:46.00]My grandfather's lived here for years
[00:48.25]and we come here very year.
[00:50.52]Unfortunately, my younger brother's
[00:52.59]been getting on my nerves.
[00:53.83]You know what he's like!
[00:55.61]For example, yesterday,
[00:57.07]Damian and I went for a walk to the tower
[00:59.25]at the top of the cliff behind the town.
[01:01.99]Anyway, having walked al the way to the top,
[01:04.31]we were tired and stopped for a breather.
[01:06.88]I'd loved to have had a drink of water
[01:09.18]but my brother had finished it all!
[01:09.18]
