Hey guys!
Maybe I'm overposting right now, but I have to post a rewritten piece of homework we had to write a week ago.
The text is a letter. Or, more
detailed, it's a 'House Swap Letter'. In the letter I pretend that I'm going to
do a 'house swap' with strangers. This is why they need to have some
information how to get to our house and so on. So, the following part is what I
wrote. (It's already rewritten)
Dear Marcella,
Thank you for your letter. My
family and I are really looking forward to coming to your house! As promised I
am sending you all the details you may need to know about our place.
Let me start by telling you how
to get there. When you arrive in Ternberg, you need to turn right immediately
after the police station. After about one and a half kilometres, you will come
to a crossroads. Turn left and again follow the road. It's a pretty rural area,
so don't be surprised if there doesn't seem to be much action. When you see a
chapel and a fire station slow down a bit; otherwise, you might miss the small
path one the left that leads to our house. Follow the path –the first house on
the left is ours. You can park your car in our garage. You need a code to open
the garage. The code is 4367. I suggest saving the code in your phone in case
you forget it as you won't be able to get into the house otherwise. I will hide
the keys for the front door in a flowerpot next to the front door.
As I told you our house is a
little farmhouse. Please look after our animals! Do you have experience in
handling horses? If so, you are allowed to go horse riding. Our horses are fed
fresh hay. This is already prepared and only need to be fed to them.
We also own some cats and have
bought some extra milk and cat food for them. Buying food for our cats is
nothing you need to care about. There is plenty in the base cabinet in our
kitchen. Please feed them two times per day and mix the milk with a bit of warm
water. I suggest you feed them every morning and evening as they are already
used to it.
If you need anything, there are
some shops in the city centre. If you want to buy some bread, then you are best
going to Kleindl. There are also a couple of supermarkets where you can buy
your food. If you want to see the beautiful countryside, you are best hiking up
the “Schoberstein” which is a small mountain in Trattenbach, a neighbour
village of Ternberg. If you would like to eat out, I can recommend a restaurant
that is called “Derfler’s”. They serve very good food there, but I have to warn
you – it is a bit pricey. If you want to go out at night and have some fun, you
should go dancing in one of our pubs. There is also a well-known discotheque
called “Monte” where famous DJs spin the discs.
If there is anything else you
need or if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to get in
touch!
Regards,
Michaela
