Q you have recently returned to live in your home country after being up abroad for the last three years. You find that many things have changed.
Now that you are home, writes a letter to a friend.
In your letter you should:
This drive how you are feeling now that you are back in your home country.
Tell your friend about two or three things that have changed.
Say what you plan to do now you are home
Dear Cathe,
Hi, how is everything doing? I'm sorry I haven't written for a long time, but I was busy preparing my luggage for the arrival.
Anyways, I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know something about life over here.
How is it awesome to get back the feeling of warmth again! It's so comfortable to see all familiar faces. I wish you'd been here with me, the weather is the best!
Imagine what! in this period of three years, a school had been built nearby my home, the placid area became very crowded at morning and afternoon. But a good thing is, there are now more trees around planted by the students and people in the area, the view is fabulous from high floors!
At the moment, I'm planning to join a swim training, but that would be delayed a little as I'm visiting my relatives meanwhile and go out with my friends at evening. I forgot to tell you, I also planned to join a charity together with Julie.
Well, now you know all about it, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
With love,
Student2016.
I would like to see the cirrections and the possible grade i may receive.
Thank you.

There is no such word as "anyways". It is "anyway". You do not need the word "How" in the next sentence. It should not begin the sentence. "It is awesome..." is a good beginning for the sentence. After "Imagine what! you must capitalize the beginning of the next sentence. "In this period..." "...nearby my home, the placid area..." can be two sentences, or you need to replace the comma with a semi-colon. And you use one verb tense in "had been built" so you need to use the same tense in the following: instead of "became very crowded", it should be "has become very crowded". You need a comma "...trees around, planted by...", then a semi-colon after "area" and before "the view", or make "The view..." a separate sentence.
If you make these corrections, I think you'll get a good grade. :)
Love your friend sara
It's great to hear from you again! I can only imagine how you must feel, returning home to a place that has changed so much. It's disorienting when places and people we know well are suddenly different.
It must be strange to be staying in your old dining room, and to have your siblings take over your old room. But it's also exciting to start fresh and discover new ways of living.
It's unfortunate that the small cafe on the corner of your society is gone, but it's good to know that there's a new mall nearby. I bet you'll find lots of new things to explore there.
It's great that you plan to go on new adventures now that you're back. How about we plan a trip somewhere together? It would be great to catch up and share some new experiences.
Best wishes and take care,
