On Monday I slept late and then had lunch on a boat. After lunch, we played football on the beach. In the evening I went to the movies.

On Tuesday I swam before breakfast and then sunbathed on the beach till lunch. After lunch, I went for a walk and then watched a video in the evening.

On Wednesday morning I went jogging and then had a picnic lunch. In the afternoon I went sailing and then had an early dinner.

Dear Faisal,

I'm writing to tell you about a trip I made recently.

Last month I went on a trip to Dubai. I went with my wife. We left Abu Dhabi at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We drove in our car. We stayed at the Holiday Inn, just off Sheikh Zayed Road. On Thursday evening we had dinner at The Reef seafood restaurant at the Crowne Plaza. On Friday and Saturday we played squash in the morning then drove out to watch the rugby union World Cup Sevens at the new stadium on the Al Ain Road. On Sunday we drove across the Dubai Creek and had lunch with a friend at the Boardwalk restaurant at the Sailing Club beside the Marina. Then we drove home in the afternoon.

Yours truly,

Hedley.

Serious accident

To: george.formby@college.com
From: hbutterfield@hct.ac.ae

Good morning Eric,

I saw the accident. It happened yesterday morning in the staff lounge.

Mrs Smith slipped and fell as she was getting a cup of coffee.

There was some water on the floor and the tiles were slippy.

I called an ambulance because she hurt her back.

The paramedics took her to hospital.

I suggest that the tea boys should mop the floor regularly to keep it dry.

Best regards,

Hedley.

Good morning,

I am writing because my telephone is not working.

Could you please send a technician to repair the phone ASAP?

The problem is that I have no dialling tone.

The phone was OK yesterday but the problem started this morning.

My location is workstation 103.

Could you please send me written confirmation when the telephone

is repaired.
