Aufgabe 2
Dear Mum,
I hope you are feeling better. Something curious has happened. I thought about my friend Jennifer, who I hadn’t seen in a very long time and the next day I’ve seen her in the bank. She stood right in front of me. Probably you remember her?! But I think if you saw her, you would recognize her.
We talked a little while and I invited her to my place for the weekend. She will stay for two days. She told me that she is working as a cook in a restaurant now. I’m very happy for her, because that’s what she ever wanted to be. Now I’m not worried about her future anymore.
She has really changed. Furthermore she is living with her boyfriend now.
After that weekend I want to visit her in Hamburg and do the shopping there or just talk a little bit more. I’m exited to get to know her boyfriend and to see how she lives.
I’ll write you another letter next week and will tell you what we will have done.
Kisses and hugs,
Kathi

Aufgabe 5
I woke up at nine o’clock on Saturday. I really enjoyed the thought of not working this day.
I wanted to stay at home, but suddenly I changed my mind and called my friend Lily. She wanted to do the shopping and I agreed with her.
We planned to go to Hamburg by train. We heard a common voice behind us. It was our friend Nicole and she wanted to go to Hamburg too. She was pleased as we decided to go together. At first we wanted to eat something but Lily looked forward to going into big shopping centers. I don’t like that behaviour, because I think it is very selfish.
After the lunch we did the shopping for three hours. We were very glad that we found the things we were looking for.
It was a successful day and slowly it began to get dark outside. We wanted to go home.
We waited a long time, but the train didn’t arrive. It was cold and uncomfortable. We tried to find someone to ask. One minute later, the train arrived and we could go home. I wasn’t able to walk anymore, because my feet hurt. So we waved a taxi cab to stop for us. Lying in my bed, I remembered the day with a good feeling.
