I live in a big city．It’s noisy and dirty and I always feel very 36 ．At the weekends I like to leave the city and get some 37 air and have a good rest．A few weeks ago I decided to go to see my 38 . I was really looking forward to them．

　 My parents live a long way away．I went to see them with James，a friend of 39 ．And we drove there on Friday night．In the middle of the road it began to rain．The roads became very wet and it was difficult to 40 ．We 41 home just after midnight，feeling very tired．The next morning it was still raining．James took his car to a garage(汽车修理站)which was very good．

In the afternoon the 42 got better．We wanted to go for a drive．My parents 43　 us their car．But their car wasn’t very good．It didn’t 　44 on the way. How 45 we were! We had to ring up the garage． “Oh”，they said，“your car won’t 　46 until tomorrow．”So it wasn’t 47 for us to go for a drive．We had to stay at my parents’ home all day．On Sunday my mother 48 a heavy box on her foot and we had to hire(雇佣)a taxi 49 her to hospital．When James and I drove back home on Sunday afternoon，we got stuck(堵车)in a car accident．Oh，my God! Next time if 1 want a rest，I’11 stay in the 50 .

Dear Ann,

　　I hope that you and your children will be here in two weeks. My husband and I will go to meet you at the train station. Our town is small but it is nice and beautiful. Your son Tom can go to the sports center every day. He can play games and go swimming there. Jill is also lucky. My son has a cat and two sheep and I have two horses. She can play with them all day.

　　Dear Ann, please don't worry. I'm sure you’ll have a good time here.　　

See you soon.

With much love

Linda
