Dear Sir,

Thank you for your recent application to join the Society Club. As you know, we have ⁰_____ been ______ in existence ¹_______________ the beginning of the nineteenth century and we like to think of ²_______________ as being one of the most exclusive clubs in the country. As you made the application ³_______________ and don’t have a current member to speak for you, I’m sure you won’t mind answering an important question so that we can decide whether you should be allowed to join our society.

We are a completely non-political society and, in almost two hundred years, we have ⁴_______________ allowed anyone to join who has belonged to a political party so I have to ask: ⁵_______________ you now a member, or ⁶_______________ you ever been a member of a political party? If so, then, I’m afraid, we cannot allow you to join.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Lord Percy Hodge

think

In my ⁰____ opinion____, every student should have to join at least one school club or society. Everybody ¹_______________ that most students just waste their time surfing the net or watching TV.

Well, ⁴_______________, I think you’re wrong. It ⁵_______________ wrong to force people to do what they don’t want to do. ⁶_______________ at normal classes, they get disrupted by kids who don’t want to be there.

You could be right I suppose but, as ⁸_______________ as I’m concerned, they’re an excellent thing for bored teenagers to go to.
