Read the email about a book and answer the questions. Dear Colleen,
Hi! It was so nice to hear from you. I’ve just finished an amazing book that I’m sure you’re going to like. It’s The Banjo Player by Sam Yarney.
It’s an exciting novel about a computer whizz-kid named Zac Pullman and a PR woman called Kimberly Piper who accidentally get caught up in the dangerous world of spies and killers. There is also a romance that develops between Zac and Kimberly.
The story hooks you from the very beginning. Kimberly gets an email from a friend only to discover that he died shortly after writing it. Meanwhile, Zac uncovers interesting information about Kimberly’s friend while working on a project with his dad. The events eventually bring Kimberly and Zac together who end up on the run in search of answers about a major global plot.
This is definitely a fast-paced read with plenty of jaw-dropping action that would make an excellent film. It’s based on real issues facing our world today like the environment and our dependence on oil. The book is so well-written that you often think the events are real.
I not only recommend it, but can’t wait to see it on the big screen one day. You’re going to enjoy it for sure. Have to go now.
Enjoy yourself,
Katrina

Hi Jane,
We’re having a party on the occasion of my 19 anniversary on Saturday 15 May at my new house. It starts about 7.30 p.m. I have invited about 42 people. You can get to my house on the number 12 bus 1) from the station.
Get 2) off the bus 3) before the bridge. Go 4) over the bridge and 5) down the stairs. Go 6) past the baker’s to the traffic lights. Walk 7) across the street and turn 8) left (или right) to the florist’s. Go 9) up Newton Road – it goes 10) along the river. Don’t take second turn 11) though, walk 12) under the arch. We’re number 233, 13) next to the park.
Hope to see you there,
Kate
