I wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you about my sister’s new job. She’s working in a clothes shop when she’s not at the university. She’s a shop assistant there. She puts clothes in the right places in the shop. She works two nights a week from 5pm until 8pm and on Saturdays from 9am to 5pm. On her first day she learned where everything in the shop is. It was a bit tiring but it’s great to have a job. She wanted a new mobile phone and now she has bought one! Also she’d like to buy some clothes from the shop! Drop me a line soon! Yours, Anna Dear Claire, Para 1
