Jan has just married Gwyneth and has gone to live with her in Wales. Here is a letter he has written to his friend, Dan.
He has made 23 mistakes in his letter. Correct the mistakes.
Dear Dan
I am writing to thank you for a wonderful persent you gave us for our wedding.Today I’m at home because I lost my voice; in fact.
I don’t think I can speak again for the next two or three days.
This gives me plenty of time to write letters!
We arrived to Cardiff just a week after the wedding.I like already Wales very much.Many people here want to know what are the difference between Wales and Denmark,but I don’t think there are so a lot. One of the most impressive, perhaps, is the beautiful view of sea and mountains which I am seeeing from our window.
Of course, the language is also very different!Although my English has improved quite a lot I’m still afraid of make mistakes. As for Welsh , I don’t think I’ll never manage to understand it.
I haven’t already found a job, but it’s very important for me to find one soon as I can’t settle in here unless I don’t find one.
I don’t want to depend of Gwyn for ever! In fact, I had my first interview the other day. The interviewer was very interested to hear I was an import-export manager in Danish company and all the reasons why I had left.
I also had a bad experience the other day. The roads here are such empty that I got into my car and completely forgot which way to drive! Eventually a policeman has stopped me and told me I had better be driving on the left. He warned me I could prosecute.He told me to report to the police station next week. Some of my friends say I have to pay a fine wheen I go
By the way, what did happen to you after the wedding? I rang your hotel, but they told me you already left. Anyway, please let us know when can you visit. Gwuneth sends her love.
Yours, Jan
p.s I can’t remember if you took any photos at the wedding so
I’m enclosing a picture in this letter if you did’t

Jan has married Gwyneth and is living in Wates. This is his second letter to his friend, Dan.
He has made 23 mistakes in his letter. Correct the mistakes.
Dear Dan.
Thank you so much tor writing back such quickly. I’m afraid I still haven’t managed to find a job, but I hope to get it soon. Fortunately, the person lives next door to us is interested in learnind Danish so I an able to earn a little money.
Because Gwyneth is out all day I sometimes feel a little lonely. I really wish she wouldn’t need to work so much. When I feel loney I often can’t stop to think about about my friends and family in Denmark, and I just remember to eat my favourite Danish food and all the other things I used do at home. Occasionally, I wish I did’t come here because I’m enjoying here on the whole although I’m still mot used to hear the language.
I really like countryside round here and yesterday, because I had plenty of spare time, I could go for a long walk through the hills, I was frighterned of getting lost, but eventually I could get home without too many problems.
I spend most of my time thinking about finding a work.Denise, the woman who husband I’m teaching Danish , has given me some good advice. She has suggested me to put an advert in the local newspaper. I really wish I found a good job. The local school needs an economics teacher,but economics aren’t really my field.
Yes, I’d love you to come and visit as soon as possible. I hope that by the time you get here I have found a job. I’d like to ring you but I don’t have your number any more- I think perhaps I would have left it in Denmark but I’m not sure. Is it possible for you to phone me? If so, please ring in the evening because I’ll probably look for a job during the day - time.
Yours. Jan
p.s Please remember getting in touch as soon as you can. Gwyneth asked me to remember to send you her love too.
