Write a letter to your friend about the book

Dear Steve,

Thanks for your letter , which came yesterday. I do like to hear from you. The news of your interview is very interesting. But you didn’t say if you got the job. I hope you did.

You wanted me to tell you about what I am doing these days.

Well, frankly, I am doing nothing special at the moment. But recently I’ve read a book ,which is popular all over the world. It is called Pride and Prejudice. The author of this magnificent book is Jane Austen. I think you should read it . You may probably ask me about the gist of the novel. Well, it is an exciting story about love, and manners and morals of the British society in 18^th century. There are five daughters in the Bennet family and marriage is the only career open to them. There is, naturally, excitement when two young men of good fortune move into the district. But before there can be a happy ending , the hero must conquer his overwhelming pride and Elizabeth, with her prejudices against him. Only by taking the route to self-knowledge can they reach a mature understanding of each other and find lasting love.

By the way , there is a film based on this novel. Have you seen it? I’m sure you’ll like the film ,as well.

I’ll finish now. A friend of mine has to write a letter in German, and I said that I would help him.

Write to me or phone me soon,

Best wishes,

Amanda
