Answer 1

I can help you with your grammar exercise. Here is the correct answer:

Dear Mum, By the time you receive this letter I 1) will have finished my final exams and, whether they went well or not, I 2) will be celebrating. 3) I'm going to start looking for a job at the end of the summer because I 4) am going on holiday around Europe for a month, starting next week. Sue 5) will probably come with me, although she’s not sure yet. If she does, I’m sure we 6) will have a great time. I 7) am seeing her this evening, as usual, so I expect she 8) will tell me her decision then. Anyway, my first exam 9) starts at 9 o’clock tomorrow so I 10) am driving down to the library to do some last-minute revision. Even though I 11) will have studied Russian for four years by the time these exams are over, I feel I’ve still got a lot to learn about the language. Give my love to Sam and Rover.

Yours, Jason
