Hi Anna,
Hope everything is OK with you. We've just moved to a new flat nearer the centre of town. It's brilliant being so close to the shops, and the flat is bigger than our old one. It's quite noisy, though, as there is a lot of traffic. I'd rather it was further from the main road. I met one of our neighbours yesterday. She is about my age and she is very friendly. She has invited me to a party next weekend. Can you go with me? I hope so. To be honest, I'd rather not go alone. Also, would it be OK if I used your bike for a few days? Mine is at the bike shop and I'd rather cycle to school than get the bus.
Got to go now. I'd better finish my homework before bed. I look forward to receiving your reply.
Love,
Ellie

L I heard that your family moved house recently. Where are you living now?
S We moved to a village about five kilometres out of town. It’s an old detached house with about an acre of land.
L Wow, that sounds fantastic! Actually, we moved house last month too, but it was just to a bigger flat in the same area.
It must be really peaceful where you are.
S You know, it’s true that I sleep better there. I hadn’t really realised how noisy our road in town was. But it’s so much less convenient! I have guitar lessons in the evening, and I’m in a school theatre production too, so I spend hours waiting for buses. I used to just walk everywhere.
L Hmm. I’ve never really thought about that. We’re right in the centre of town, so everything’s so close. Where did the idea of moving to the countryside come from?
S Well ... my mum had always wanted to live in the country, and she’s really enjoying having a big garden now. My dad seems to like it there as well. He likes doing DIY projects, and lots of things in the house are broken, so there’s plenty for him to do. So I’m the only one who’s not exactly thrilled.
L Well, I wouldn’t mind putting up with it! I’d give anything to live in the countryside.
S I’m not so keen on it. But in a couple of years I’ll be going off to university, so I’ll just put up with it until then.
Tạm dịch:
L Tôi nghe nói rằng gần đây gia đình bạn đã chuyển nhà. Hiện tại bạn đang sống ở đâu vậy?
S Chúng tôi chuyển đến một ngôi làng cách thị trấn khoảng năm cây số. Đó là một ngôi nhà biệt lập cũ với khoảng một mẫu đất.
L Wow, nghe tuyệt thật đấy! Thực ra thì tháng trước gia đình cũng đã chuyển nhà, nhưng chỉ là đến một căn hộ lớn hơn trong cùng khu vực. Nơi bạn đang ở hẳn phải yên bình lắm nhi.
S Bạn biết đấy, đúng là tôi ngủ ngon hơn ở đó. Tôi đã không thực sự nhận ra con đường trong thị trấn của chúng tôi ồn ào như thế nào. Nhưng nó bất tiện hơn nhiều! Tôi học guitar vào buổi tối, và tôi cũng đang tham gia dàn dựng sân khấu ở trường, vì vậy tôi phải dành ra hàng giờ để chờ xe buýt. Tôi đã từng chỉ phải đi bộ đến mọi nơi.
L Ừm. Tôi chưa bao giờ thực sự nghĩ về chuyện đó. Chúng tôi ở ngay trung tâm thị trấn nên mọi nơi đầu rất gần. Sao lại có ý chuyển đến nông thon vậy?
S Chà... mẹ tôi đã luôn muốn sống ở nông thôn, và bây giờ bà ấy thực sự thích có một khu vườn lớn. Bố tôi có vẻ cũng thích ở đó. Ông ấy thích làm các dự án DIY, và rất nhiều thứ trong nhà bị hỏng, vì vậy ông ấy có rất nhiều việc để làm. Vì vậy, tôi là người duy nhất không thực sự hứng thú.
L Chà, tôi sẽ không phiền khi phải chịu điều đó đâu! Tôi sẽ đánh đổi bất cứ điều gì để được sống ở nông thôn.
S Tôi không hứng thú với việc đó cho lắm. Nhưng vài năm nữa tôi sẽ học đại học, nên tôi sẽ cố gắng cho đến lúc đó vậy.
