A. I had a (1) strange/ strangely dream last night. I was in a garden. It was getting (2) dark/ darkly, and it was (3) terrible/ terribly cold. My head was aching (4) bad/ badly. I was walking out of the garden when (5) sudden/ suddenly I saw a man. He was sitting (6) quiet/ quietly on a seat. He seemed very (7) unhappy/ unhappily. He looked up and smiled (8) sad/ sadly at me. I don’t know why, but I felt (9) curious/ curiously about him. I want to talk to him, but I couldn’t think what to say. I just stood there (10) foolish/ foolishly.
B. Well, here I am in England. Thank you for your (1) kind/ kindly letter. You ask me what it’s like here. I must say it’s pretty (2) good/ well! The language school is very (3) efficient/ efficiently organised. On the first morning we had to do a test, which I found rather (4) hard/ hardly. However I got a (5) surprising/ surprisingly good mark, so I’m in the second class. I didn’t talk much at first, because I couldn’t think of the words (6) quick/ quickly enough, but (7) late/ lately I’ve become much more fluent/ fluently. I’m staying with a family who live (9) near/ nearly the school. They are quite (10) pleasant/ pleasantly although I don’t see them much because I’m always so (11) busy/ busily with my friends from school. I was surprised how (12) easy/ easily I made new friends here. They come from (13) different/ differently parts of the world and we have some (14) absolute/ absolutely fascinating discussions. I do hope you will be able to join me here next term. I’m sure we’d have (15) good/ well fun together. Aren’t you impressed at how (16) accurate/ accurately my English is now?
