Dear Dennis,

    We just want to say thank you for having us before we caught the plane last week. It was a nice evening, and we enjoyed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Pete and Sarah. With your help we were able to get to the airport with plenty of time. We often tried to get an {#blank#}2{#/blank#} flight than usual, but it wasn't possible.

    We had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} holiday in Spain. We just loved driving {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the countryside, and we often {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to walk round a mountain village. We met {#blank#}6{#/blank#} friends, Bill and Sue, and they invited us to have a meal with them. They wanted us to stay with them, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we couldn't, as we had already booked two {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in a hotel.

    The weather was nice. There {#blank#}9{#/blank#} so much beautiful sunshine all the time we were there. Leaving Spain was very sad. It made me want to cry.

    Anyway, we're looking forward to hearing from you, and hope to see you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Let me know if you're ever in the area. You must call in.

Yours,

Ray

    Everyone has a dream. Catherine's is to own a bakery(蛋糕店).

    The 14-year-old American girl became fond(喜爱) of baking and decorating(装饰) cakes when her mother first {#blank#}1{#/blank#} her how to do it. Her parents found that she is talented {#blank#}2{#/blank#} making cakes. She made her first cake for her sister's birthday. "I had never {#blank#}3{#/blank#} done anything like it before," she said. "It was pretty good and I actually realized how much I liked cake decorating." After making her sister's birthday cake, Catherine tried making the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} one for herself.

    Catherine had thought about starting {#blank#}5{#/blank#} own business years ago, but she didn't start receiving orders until she put pictures of her cake designs on Facebook.

    A few hours later, somebody saw Catherine's cake designs and called to order a cake for $15. That was her first {#blank#}6{#/blank#} cake. It proved to be a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} experience.

    Realizing the public's interest in Catherine's designs, her family decided to create a business for her. She has made about 35 cakes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} she started, including birthday cakes and wedding cakes. And she made her cakes without {#blank#}9{#/blank#} sketch(草稿) first.

    Catherine's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} were surprised that she could create such impressive(印象深刻的) designs at such a young age.
