Dear Mum,

I am j (JUST WRITE) to tell you how much I (APPRECIATE) the money you have sent me,
and to tell you how I (GET) on in my first term at university. In fact, I (REALLY
ENJOY) myself. I (STUDY) quite hard as well, but at the moment I (SPEND) a lot of
time making new friends. I (STILL STAY) with my friend Jill and I (LOOK) for some
place to live on my own. Only a small number of first year students (LIVE) in college here and I
(SEEM) to be spending a lot of time travelling.

I (ATTEND) lectures every morning, and most afternoons I (STUDY) in the library. In fact, I am
writing (WRITE) this letter right now instead of an essay on Shakespeare.

I think I’ll buy some new clothes with the money you’ve sent me. Everything costs (COST) a lot here, and I (SAVE) to buy a coat for the winter months. It (GET) really cold here in the evenings.
I now (KNOW) some other students and we (HAVE) quite a good time. I am also learning
(ALSO LEARN) to drive. University students (GET) a refund if they take their tests here. I
(LOOK) forward to coming home next month. See you soon.

Kate
