But (22) one parent pointed out, (23) was an old keyboard he gave his one-year-old son. As children grow older the (24) they enjoy watching the letters appear (25) the screen. One parent recalls how her daughter would become very excited (26) seeing her name appear. And more (27) anything her young son still enjoys typing his own name.

They are very _ 51 nice people naturally but they arenТt much of help to those of _ 52 us who want to improve our English language. If you put _ 53 this letter in your paper we will all be so grateful to _ 54 you. If any of your readers would then want to make themselves _ 55 a contact with us we would be very happy indeed.

SHAKESPEARE HELPS YOUNG LOVERS Possibly the first known London address (0)of Shakespeare is in the area of what today (16) Liverpool Street Station. In October 1596 this was (17) of the Parish (18) St HelenТs, Bishopsgate. A William Shakespeare is on a debtorsТ list of that date and place for five shillings in tax - a good (19) pounds by todayТs values. He had (20) February 1597 to pay but the collectors who called during that month were (21) to get their money. His name appears in the (22) parish in 1598, (23) time for even (24) tax, payable (25) the end of March. History repeated itself when the men called, and (26) more they collected nothing. By October Shakespeare was across the river and only ten years later did he recross (27) to lodge in the house of a wigmaker in Silver Street. This is (28) record because in a 1612 court case at Westminster, Shakespeare speaks (29) behalf of an apprentice in the house of the wigmaker, (30) daughter the apprentice hoped to marry, despite her fatherТs disapproval - rich material indeed for a dramatist.

' 00 The first thing we saw was the large queue already stretching 41 a good way along the path. But the Tower it looked so big 42 that we were sure there must to be room for us all inside.

43 We joined with the queue and waited. British people are better at 44 this queueing business than us as I have learned from living here.

45 Finally the doors opened, we paid our money, and went in and 46 began finding out our way round the Tower. I was surprised 47 to see so very much armour - the metal worn by fighting men.

48 And I was very frightened when I saw that where so many 49 people had had their heads cut off by the man with the 50 axe. Altogether I did found the Tower rather frightening 51 but I did much like the uniforms worn by the СBeefeatersТ, 52 as they have call them, and also liked the large black birds 53 which are as part of the tradition of the Tower. But I am 54 very glad that I was never sent there for doing something 55 wrong. I would myself have been too frightened to survive.

A PRINTER REPLIES Dear Sir the_ 0 Thank you for your letter of the March 15, asking if we ' 00 could print advertising matter on the wrapping and containers for 41 your chain of supermarkets. We have a considerable experience 42 of this kind work and can easily handle the very 43 large orders you would require for us to carry out.

44 We are sure you will allow to us to point out that we 45 already do all the printing for the Goodfood and Multisave 46 supermarket chains and have quite recently been approached 47 by the Safebuy chain to know if we could handle in their 48 printing needs. The answer it is of course that yes we are 49 a very large firm indeed and you have written to us at a 50 very fortunate time since we are about to expand with 51 our business. This is to take the form of a merger 52 with the printing firm of Brown and Williamson, whom 53 with we have always had very good relations with.

54 Now that they are joining to our company we can safely 55 say as we shall be able to deal with your orders.
