Dear Paula
I'm happy that you like your new job. When   you started have you started did you start had you started   working there? I   was working have worked used to be have been working   in my present job for 15 years. I   am well continue well friends get on well   with the other workers and the management too. My friend Joe   always is is always have been was thought   talking about travelling, which is his hobby. He   was has been had been has gone   to many different countries. He   enjoy enjoys is enjoying is liking   discovering different cultures and   speak talk to chat talking   to people. One of his   best interested preference favourite   places to visit was Tokyo. He was so   amazing surprise impressive impressed   by the friendly local people. He   said me told say told me   about the time he asked for directions in the street, and the Japanese person said: "Just a moment."   Near Aproximate At once About   2 minutes later, the person   come back returned back came back came about   with a photocopy of a street map for Joe. The map was   unclearly, vaguely, confusing, complicate,   so Joe didn't understand it.   In spite Despite Regard Contrary   of not understanding the map, Joe   didn't can't couldn't wasn't   believe how helpful the person   has been. was being. had been. was been.   I suppose travelling a lot is expensive,   only except unless less that   you only travel when the prices are cheap. Hobbies are important, and some hobbies are very   realistic, practical, real, engaged,   for example, cooking or   do all yourself. do things yourself. do work yourself. do it yourself.   These are 2 hobbies that   also can can too can also can be   be very healthy. See you! Jim

Part 3

Researchers at an Icelandic Biotechnic Institute   say assert claim declare   to have discovered the gene responsible   to by with for   adding 10 to 15 years to the average lifespan. The Methuselah gene owes its name to the Biblical figure, Methuselah who,   according to according with depending on on behalf of   tradition, died at the age of 969. Iceland was the country chosen for the study   due because on account because of   its small population of only 270,000, and its consequently higher than normal sharing of genetic similarities. It is   known well a known reason well known knowledgeable   that the brothers and sisters of centenarians also   can to inclined to tend tend to   enjoy healthy old age. If, on the other hand, the investigation   had been had has been might have been   carried out in a highly populated country, the   secretive weird elusory elusive   gene may not   have been be been able have   identified so quickly.
The research project in Iceland studied 1,200 people, aged 90 and over, in an effort to decide calculate ascertain tell   whether there were any special reasons why some people lived longer than others. Since the   distinction diagnosis detection declaration   of the Methulsea gene, scientists are   agree confident convincing crediting   that a new drug will be developed which may well   facilitate impliment let enable   us to live longer and healthier lives.
In other research, a set of genes   known as named as distinguished as considered as   clock genes, has been discovered. The first gene of this   division model example type was isolated in 1995, and   before inside within in   months, a further two clock genes   could be may be have been were   found. Subsequent genetic analysis has   revealed announced released advertised   that the life-span of the worm varied greatly, in accordance   to by with for   the combinations and mutations of the clock genes. Some gene mutations   sustained added confirmed prolonged the life of the worm by 400%.
