Le sujet : A few month later, the young woman writes to her wealthy parents about her decision to live with an improverished jazz musician?

15th April 2003

Dear Dad, dear Mum,

It was kind of you to write to me. I'm very sorry I haven't written for so long, but an extraordinary thing has happened !
I've met a man. ( Mum, are you satisfied now ? It has been a long time that you wanted me to meet somebody !) I met Peter in a jazz club on the Fulham Road. Peter was the pianist (Dad are you happy that he is a musician like you ?).
The bar was rather gloomy ! As soon as I entered, I wanted to leave, but... Peter was there! He played the piano, calmly. He was so elegant, so mysterious. I thought that we were made for each other. Whatever he did, I was already in love with him !

When he took his break we spoke together, he comes from South East London where he lives in a small flat.
He admitted to me a few weeks later that he wasn't a professional pianist. In fact, he was looking for a job. Some weeks later, he found a job working in a butcher's.

We have been seeing each other for 3 months now. Then I decided to invite him to live with me in my flat to South Kensington. He accepted and will move in, in 2 weeks. He sold his flat, and with his money we will do up my flat. We will buy a new sofa and we will paint the bed room yellow. Peter is pleased because I have a piano.

Weeks pass and we both agree with each other! (si tu veux dire qu'ils s'entendent bien je propose "we both get on really well together")

There's no fix the date of the marriage left...(- désolé cela ne se comprend pas en anglais ! si tu veux dire il ne reste plus qu'à fixer la date du marriage je suggère "Now we just have to set the date for the wedding !!")
Lots of love Madie


Merci de votre aide


Laure
A part la dernière phrase c'était pas mal du tout !

Bon courage !!
