WRITING
Dear Sameer,
I haven’t heard
from you for quite some
time. I know that you’ve
probably been very busy
with moving house, but
I’m hoping we can get
together soon to catch
up on each other’s news.
Speaking about news, you’ll never
guess what happened to me (1) recently / after a while.
You know I’ve always wanted to go hiking. Well, I finally managed to go
but it didn’t turn out too well. I went with some friends of mine who are very
experienced hikers. I’m grateful I did because I don’t know what I would have done
without them.
We set off early in the morning and started walking. (2) Finally / At first,
I thought to myself that hiking is quite easy but then I started feeling really
tired and I could hardly keep up with the rest of the group. We were crossing a
field (3) when / while I felt a sharp pain in my left leg. I thought it was a thorny
bush or something and kept going because the rest of the group was far ahead.
(4) After a while / As soon as I broke out into a cold sweat and started feeling
very dizzy. (5) Then / When I passed out.
(6) When / Then I finally came round, my friends told me that a snake had
bitten me. One of my friends who knew about snake bites had tied my leg and
sucked out the poison. Luckily, they had an antidote for snake bites and I soon felt
much better.
In future, I will think twice about going hiking. Write soon to tell me your
news.
Take care,
John
