Target language: English

I've taken the University Entry Exam. I have succeeded in getting into the Department of Mathematics. I am sending this letter a little bit late because I was busy with school work.

My older sisters also say hello to you. They completed their first year at the University. They are students in the school of nursing. Hakan is in the 8th grade. He will take the high school entry exam. He is studying his lessons. My parents also miss you and they say hello to you. They have not forgotten you. Could you write your MSN address? I can't get into the one you gave me.

Lots of loveâ€¦.

Take good care of yourself. Bye.

I am not able to contact you through the one you already gave me. --> Could you write your MSN address? I can't get into the one you gave me. Lots of love, ... Take care. Bye.

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	I thought your translation of that sentence was fine. I guess you could add "already" at the end. But you need to change "missed" to "miss", as I said. And now you've got the sentence about the msn address in there twice. And the last part should be "good care" not "a good care". I missed that. (that's how we use "missed" in the past tense)

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Sorry, m_duru, but your suggestion is not correct English. Also, most English speakers do not use "elder" anymore.
