A and B sentences

1. Person A falls from B's roof while fixing it.

In this case, B is not responsible because he wasn't the one to cause A to fall, A fell alone.

2. Person A is asking for money and B walks by.

Again, it is not Bs fault if A has financial problems and his is asking for money, B just doesn't care but it is not his fault.

3. A needs to go somewhere but he doesn't have a car, B lends him his car and A has an accident.

In this case, B is partially responsible for not warning A about the car's problems, but I wouldn't say it is his fault because he was being nice and gave it to A who was in need.

4. B has piggy virus, goes to school and gives it to A.

This time B is responsible for going to school while having the piggy flue, because he knew that others would get it from him but he didn't care.

My dear Katrina,
I am in my office waiting for the Stock Exchange to open and I am dreaming of you...

I remember our acquaintance at the Empire State Building last March- I was on a rush for a business appointment, when you came up to me telling me that you got lost. For me, it was love at first sight. The following two months we spent together were unforgettable. I am so glad we got married before your flight to Los Angeles!

How is your life in LA? Take care of yourself. Don't work too hard. You know you can count on me and if you are in need of extra money, do not hesitate to ask me.

I feel so lonely and I miss you so much! I'm sure you have the same emotions as I do. I am looking forward to see you as soon as you complete your obligations.

With all my love,

Yours,

Alan

Dear Alan,
Los Angeles is fantastic! You can't imagine how many celebrities I've met since I've been here.

I've been in too many auditions, and last week I signed my first contract. Very soon you'll see me on the screen. I'm sure I'll become a star- an actress known all over the world!

I don't know if I can come to New York this year as I am very busy. In the meantime, I desperately need some money as I've spent almost everything you've given me to buy a luxury house.

Love,

Katrina

Dear Katrina,
I've been waiting for your letter and it was a surprise for me to receive it after such a long time. But my astonishment was greater to see how much you have changed!

Where is that modest person, the sensible girl I first met in New York? That sweet little face was always in my mind... The girl who hated alcohol and cigarettes...
If you didn't tell me that the person on the photo were you, I wouldn't have recognised you.
I'm so disappointed! I always thought of you as the prefect woman to be my wife and I gave you everything you've asked for- but you don't deserve it.

My lawyer will send you the papers for the divorce and please, don't contact with me again.

Good luck to you.

Alan.

Dear Allan,
Our divorce should be ready by now.

I'm sending you this note just to let you know that eventhough you are a marvellous person and I thank you for all the support you gave me, I never meant to get married and sacrifice my career. I admit that we had a great time together in New York, but for me it was the starting point to fulfil my dream- get the financial support and fly to LA to become famous. And I succeeded.

I'm sure you can find another lady who can be the best wife and the best mother for your children. You deserve it.

Look after yourself and thank you.

Katrina.

Short Story

The Russian ''Job''

“Are you ready?” asked Natasha.
“I think so” Ivan said.
Everything was ready to begin. Natasha and Ivan got in the van and drove to the place. The whole town was asleep, and they were ready for the “job”. They've been waiting for this moment since years. It was time for the man who killed their son to pay.

The memories still haunted their minds, even though so many years have passed. They couldn't forget how horrible their son's death was, and it was all Polonsky's and his gang's fault. The poor baby was an innocent victim, that got killed because of his parents having open “affairs” with Polonsky and his gang.

Ivan and his wife were both members of the Russian Mafia, and they caused a lot of trouble to Polonsky's gang. Polonsky got really angry and upset, and in order to make them pay, he killed their son that was only 1 years old. Ivan and Natasha got really mad, and now it was time for Polonsky to pay for his cruelness.

They waited in the van outside his house, until they made sure that Polonski was asleep. They put on their masks and gloves and got ready. With their legs trembling and their heart like stone, they got out of the van and moved quietly outside Polonski's window. They knew that he was asleep by the sound of his snoring, which could be heard from miles away. They made sure they had all the weapons they needed.

Ivan and Natasha were standing petrified under Polonski's window, but at the same time, they both had a creepy feeling of happiness. They loaded their guns, took their pocketknives, and Ivan broke in first through the window! Polonski was alerted, and he immediately reach for his AK-47 that he had under his bed. Before Ivan got a chance to pull the trigger, Polonsky shot him on his left leg. He fell on the floor and started crying and screaming because he couldn't move his leg. Polonsky went there and pulled Ivan's mask, and he jumped back. He didn't expect to see that face again, and he was ready to get rid of him once and for all.

While Polonsky was ready to finish Ivan, Natasha jumped there too, and stubbed Polonsky on the back. As Polonsky hadn't noticed Natasha hiding outside, when he got stubbed, he didn't know where it came from, he just fell on the ground facing down and died.

Immediately, Natasha grabbed Ivan and helped him to rush out of the house. They got in their van and drove away feeling satisfied and justified after they took revenge for their son's death. Even though Ivan and Natasha never forgot their son, they moved to another country, and from that point on, they were living like an ordinary couple, and put an end to their dark previous life.
