Read the letter below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.

Dear Sarah,

I hope you don’t mind me writing to you. You probably don’t remember me, but we met about three years ago. My sister Vtasta used to work as an au pair for the family next door to you and I visited her for a week. We both went to a barbecue at your house. Your dad set fire to a tree in the back garden and had to call the fire brigade. I’m sure you remember that!

Anyway, I’m writing to you now because Vtasta remembers that your parents are both lawyers. I’m studying Law at university here in the Czech Republic. It’s a five-year course, and I’m just about finish my second year. I’ve decided to spend next year working in the UK, partly to improve my English and partly to earn some money. Could

your mum or dad give me any advice about how to get a job in a law firm? I’m prepared to do any kind of work – I don’t mind making tea!

I’m enclosing a recent photo of me, Vtasta and two friends of ours. Vtasta is the girl with long, blond hair (it used to be dark). I’m the one on the left, with short, dark hair and a long-sleeved T-shirt.

Best wishes

Marek Zeman
