Hi Sue,

Yesterday when I was in your house I broke your alarm clock. 

I stayed in your bed playing with it and it fell down. I'm so 

sorry, if you want I can buy another one for you. I hope you 

forgive me.

Your friend,

Alicia Bolaños                                                                                                  

                          

Hello Sue,

I'm so sorry for breaking your alarm clock last night, I didn't 

want to do it. What happened was that while I was asleep 

I rolled next to the bedside table near your bed where you 

had the alarm clock and I pushed it and it fell down.

If you want I can give you mine because it's like yours.

I'm very sorry,

Carmen González                                                                                                                      

Hi Sue,

First of all I'm sorry for breaking your alarm clock, I didn't 

do it on purpose. I was in your bedroom dancing and... I 

don't know how it happened. I think on Wednesday I will 

buy a new alarm clock for you.

All the best,

Rodrigo González                                                                                                                       

Dear Sue,

I'm so sorry for breaking your alarm clock. This happened 

when I was at your home yesterday. I was looking at your 

clothes and your brother scared me and the alarm clock 

fell down from the sofa, I'm really sorry. Shall I buy you 

another one or give you some money? please answer 

me soon. I'm so sorry, I hope you can forgive me.                                           

All the best, 

Silvia González                                                                   

Hi Sue,

I'm sorry for breaking your alarm clock. I was playing 

with your little brother. We were playing basketball 

with your little basket and your little ball bounced when 

I threw it and then the ball hit your alarm clock. What 

about buying you a new one?                                      

Love, 

Lidia Lorenzo                                                                          

Dear Sue,

I'm so sorry for breaking your alarm clock yesterday, I didn't 

want to do it. When I was getting out of the bed I pushed 

the pillow and it fell to the floor and it broke. It won't happen 

again.

Bye. Kisses to you

Sara Roldán

           

                                                                                                                

Hi Sue,

I apologise because I broke your alarm clock. I picked it up 

to look at the time and it fell down. I'll buy a new one for 

you. I'm really sorry

                                                                                   

See you soon!!

Natalia Suárez

Dear Sue,

Hi Jo,

I'm very happy I'm writing you an email. In this email I would like to tell you that we can't go rock climbing because last time I went rock climbing I fell and hurt my leg, so I'm a bit afraid. We can go surfing on Saturday morning.

I'm waiting for you to write me a letter.

Bye,

Hi Jo,

I can't go rock climbing because I have many exams and lots of homework. Sorry, but we can go to the cinema next weekend.

Hello Jo,

Thank you for inviting me to go rock climbing with you, but I can't because I have to study for my exams. But on Monday we can go to the cinema together.
