The lost book [letters for the English practice] Darling Hedwig, How are you? I hope that you are fine. I have not heard from you for ages! I am writing to you to sincerely apologize. The book "Arch of Triumph" by Erich Maria Remarque, which you gave me last Friday, was lost in a park. Trust me, I am frustrated as well as you may be. I am so sorry and apologize afresh. Do you remember that I am not a quite concentrated person? That is why this vexing thing has happened. I was reading, when a girl came to me and asked to help her with lessons. While I was explaining a grammar rule, the book faded away! (There is only the hopefulness that a thief will assess the Remarque`s creative heritage.) However, I know the glorious bookshop "Black, red and white chains" and I propose you to visit this building with me and buy an identical book, when you will be free from your deeds. Do you agree, comrade? I am looking forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Genrietta.
