Hey Julia,

Why weren’t you at Ben’s party on Friday? I missed you. It was 1      (difficult) to find Ben’s house at first, so I was late. Everyone was already there, and it was very loud. Ben’s friends are more 2          (outgoing) and chat more than me, so I felt a bit shy. I was so 3       (glad) to see Greg. He came over and talked to me as he could see I was nervous. He told me he’s going to study medicine. He’s so 4             (clever).Sometimes I don’t understand what he’s talking about! Greg introduced me to a friend of his, called Callum, who’s very 5            (good-looking)! Debbie was there too, being silly as usual. She’s so 6          (childish)sometimes. She’s a year older than us, but she doesn’t seem it.

Let’s meet soon, Love Betsy
