Dear Kurl,
As you know, we’re meeting tomorrow morning at the public library for our first SAT-coaching session, so I’m enclosing a test-strategy sheet I printed out last night. It describes how to calculate the ratio between your “attack” percentage and your “get” percentage in order to know the minimum number of questions you’ll need to answer in the allotted time to achieve your target score. I know, I know—it makes for riveting reading, doesn’t it? But you should review it nonetheless before we meet, to save us time.
On another note, I lost my scarf the other night at Rosa’s. Remember that burgundy patterned silk one Bron was tying in a bow under my chin? I’m wondering if you happened to find it in your mom’s car. It’s not a vintage item, but it has sentimental value to me, since it used to be Lyle’s, back in his 1980s paisley phase.
Yours truly,
Jo
PS: One more point about the SAT: I read that they grade for punctuation on the composition section of the test. I think it would probably be prudent for you to start practicing using quotation marks for dialogue, Kurl. I could help you by inserting them in your letters from now on wherever you’ve omitted them, if you want.
