Task 7

You have received a letter from your English – speaking pen-friend Ted who writes:

Yesterday I watched an adaptation of W.S. Maugham’s “Theatre”. To tell you the truth, I liked the book more. Why do you think many people prefer watching movies to reading books? Are there any books you can reread many times? Where do you get books to read?

By the way, I’ve won the school tennis competition.

Write a reply letter to Ted. In your letter:

• answer his questions;
• ask 3 questions about the school tennis competition.

Write between 100 – 140 words. Remember the rules of writing informal letters.
