Questions 1-3 are about the following e-mail.

    Dear Polly, 

    I'm writing because I'm wondering why you've missed the last two days of school. You're never absent, so it was very surprising to me when you weren't in class. I called your house, but no one answered. I wanted to write you to check in to make sure everything is okay. Are you sick? Did your family go on vacation? If they did, that would explain why no one answered the phone.

   Mrs. Egan assigned us a new project. It's a project on animals. Everyone has a partner and we have to choose a unique animal and do a presentation on it for the class. I told Mrs. Egan I'd work with you even though you weren't there. I hope that's okay with you. You should start thinking about what animal you want to study.

    I really hope everything is okay with you. E-mail me or call me when you get this. I hope I see you tomorrow. 

   Gloria
