Dear Asma,

How are you? Where have you been all this time? I tried to call you but it seems that I

have the wrong phone number. I am writing this letter to inform you about our

competition in the school. Our English teachers decided to have a story-writing

competition on the 5th

May 2105. The idea of competition is for improving writing skill.

So, it is good to practice our writing skills by participating in such competitions. We are

inviting all nearby schools. We hope that about 21 schools may participate in the

competition.

I hope you are going to be one of the participants as well.

Please write to me soon.

Your friend,

Laila

Listening 2

My mother spends most of her time in the kitchen and my sister sometimes helps her. Last Monday, my

mother was frying some fish when she heard the door bell ringing. She went to open the door and left my

sister Amna in the kitchen. She was washing the dishes. It was my father who came back home from work

and forgot his keys in the car as he usually does. When my mother returned to the kitchen, she found the

oil in the pan burning. My sister was frightened and she was crying.

The kitchen was full of smoke. My father tried to put out the fire quickly. He covered the pan with a big

piece of cloth, and then he opened all the windows because there was smoke everywhere. Luckily, we

were all safe, but we didn’t have any fish for lunch as we always did every Monday.
