PET example test 1 (PET handbook 2007)

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your letter. I'm very pleased that you found something what you enjoi. I'm not very interested in computers. I prefer books. I love reading, but now it's very difficult, because I have to read English books. It takes time to start read something which is not in your mother language. And you now, my English is not so good that I could read anything. Especially if I'm reading just romantic books. I'm not just reading all the time. I like doing sports, too. I like playing basketball and football, but I?m not good at it. Now I have some meeting, so I hope to hear from you soon.

Lots of love, Lenka

Mark: 4 This is a good attempt, with fairly ambitious use of languge. The letter reads well but the linking of sentences could be better. There are some errors, but these are non-impeding. The range is more than adequate for the task set.
