Reviews wanted
Our magazine is going to include a new section called ‘Music Site Reviews’.
If there is an Internet music site that you visit often, why not write a review
of it? In your review, describe the site, say what you like or don’t like about it
and whether you would recommend it to other people.

The three best reviews will be published in our new section next month.

Write your review.

From: Karen
Subject: Holiday reading

I can’t wait to go on holiday – a whole week of relaxing by the pool! The only
problem is, I haven’t got a good book to read. Could you suggest a book for
me to read? Remember, I don’t want anything too long or too serious!
Thanks,
Karen
