Answer 1

I’m disappointed. Guess what, my wallet was stolen at a cafe! So I need to report the theft in police station.
If you’re hungry, just make a salad. All the ingredients are in fridge. So put out tomatoes, pepper and cucumbers. Then cut them and put olive oil. Also, you can add some mayonnaise.
Please do the dishes, because I did’t have time to do that, but I promise you that I’ll do it next time.
Sorry, I have plans today. My mum asked me to cook dinner and I also have to visit my grandparents. So, can we meet at 3 pm in “St.Patrick’s cafe”?

Answer 2

Dear [Exchange Student's Name],

I hope this note finds you well. Unfortunately, I have encountered an unexpected situation and I won't be able to be at home for some time. Here's what happened:

While I was at the café earlier today, my wallet was stolen. It's quite an inconvenience, and I need to go to the police station to report the theft and take care of some necessary paperwork. I apologize for the sudden absence, but it's important to address this matter promptly.

Now, let's talk about food. I've left some provisions in the kitchen for you to prepare a meal. You'll find some pasta, a jar of tomato sauce, and some grated cheese. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet, heat up the sauce, and mix them together. Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese on top for added flavor. It should make a quick and easy meal for you.

I'm sorry to ask, but I didn't have enough time to clean before leaving. Could you please help me out by doing the dishes? I really appreciate your assistance, and it will make things much easier for me when I return.

Lastly, I want to remind you that I have plans later today. We were supposed to meet at the library at 5:00 p.m. If I'm not back in time, I'll meet you directly at the library at the same time. Please wait for me there, and I'll update you if there are any changes.

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my absence. I trust that you'll be able to manage things at home. Thank you for your understanding and support. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me through text or phone.

Best regards, [Your Name]
