Dear Lucy,

I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying yourself in Australia. Things at home are the same as usual. Your father (work) very hard. Susan (just, pass) her driving test. Alex (not, write) for weeks, probably because he (study) very hard for his exams. Uncle Tom (build) a shed in the garden. I think it will be ready for next month. Mr Brown (not, feel) well recently. He has visited (visit) the doctor four times this month. The dog (have) three puppies. Mrs Smith (not, open) her new shop yet. The decorators (paint) it for weeks. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Australia. (you, see) the famous Opera House yet? Tina sends her love. Write me soon. Love,

Mum
