Good evening. I drank German beer today. It was good.
7a) Write a letter to Joe’s parents explaining what happened and why you cut the rope.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Simpson,
I was Simon. I had climbed Siula Grande with Joe.
I’m very sorry, I killed Joe when we were getting down the Siula Grande.
We were exhausted and Joe had injured his leg.
To survive, I had cut the rope which tied us each other.
I am going to do my best to pay for the crime for your son.
Once again, I am so sorry for what I have done.

Yoichi,
ReplyDeleteI think the German beer you drank (at Summer festa?) was very expensive? Did you keep the glass?
Please be careful with your past tenses; you are mixing up past perfect/past simple - can you correct your posting a bit please? Are you ("Simon") dead as well (you use `was`).
Do you think it was a "crime" that he cut the rope? If so, how should he pay? What do you think his parents would say?
