ARIJABA!

The Post Office in Britain is famous for getting letters and parcels to their destinations. The problems is that the public... observe the rules. For example, we... put a stamp on a letter. If we don't, the recipient... pay double. We often see the sign ALL LETTERS... BE CORRECTLY ADDRESSED. These days, this means... use postcodes. If you didn't use a postcode, it's no good complaining that your letter... arrived sooner. Parcels are a problem because they... be correctly packaged. If Aunt Sophie is going to send you a jar of your favourite jam, she... wrap it up well. The most important thing we... do is to address our letters and parcels legibly and correctly. This means clear handwriting and correct spelling. What we... do and what we actually do are often miles apart. Recently, the Post Office... deliver a letter which showed a name followed by the word ARIJABA. What is this, do you think? Arabic? Hindustan? Wrong both times? Say it out loud and you'll see it's just plain (misspelt!) English: HAR­WICH HARBOUR'

She had a gift for noticing changes in the weather, too. "It's going to rain soon," she (say)..., "I can feel it in my bones," and she (always be)... right in her later years, she developed a bad back and (often visit)... her osteopath. She (never tire)... of telling us that her osteopath (say)..., as he massaged her painful back, "It's going to rain, Charlotte. I can feel it in your bones!"

"You said, "You... come and stay with us as long as you like any time you're in England." "I'm sorry I... wait so many years before coming to visit you.

OLDER AND WISER?

We must make decisions all the time, but we... never be certain whether we are right or wrong. The work you choose to do •• be suitable for you or it... not. The person you marry... be Perfect match for... be the worst possible choice. Suppose you have saved money for the future.

think you have a healthy diet, but the food you eat... actually be very bad for you and... be the cause of terrible illness. Perhaps you travel a lot by plane.
