Dear Anita,
I’m writing to tell you about the auction I went to last weekend. It was held in (1) the largest house in the village and the items sold were far (2) more beautiful than I had expected. I saw (3) the prettiest vase I’ve ever seen, but it was also (4) the most expensive item there, so I couldn’t afford to buy it. I bid for some chairs. They were far (5) nice than mine, but unfortunately some made a (6) better offer than me and I couldn’t afford to make (7) the highest bid. In the end, I bought (8) the smallest item of all, although it was not (9) the cheapest of all! It was a gold locket, which I’m going to give to my (10) older daughter on her 18th birthday. I think it’s (11) the loveliest (the most lovely) necklace I’ve ever seen and it was (12) easier to carry home than a set of chairs! I enjoyed the auction very much and hope to go to another one soon. Perhaps next time you’ll come with me.
Write soon and tell me all your news.
Love, Maggie.
