9. Print! (If it doesn't print in your browser, then you can paste the text into a document for printing.)
10. Übersetz den Brief! (Translate the letter!) If you need help translating a word or two, use LEO
11. To keep these letters appropriate for our class, NO CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN FOR LETTERS GENERATED WITH
--> "stürmisch" in #5,
--> OR with "schlafen" or "duschen" AS "AKTIVITÄTEN" in #7;
--> OR computer generated TRANSLATIONS.

Alles klar? Dann viel Spaß!
