Dear Maggie,
I’ve just realized I haven’t written to you for a month. How have you done with yourself since I last see you? In your last letter you said you were thinking of ask for a new job. I’d love to hear what was happened. I’d have phoned, but I may have lost your number. I remember writing it up somewhere and I haven’t been able to find them. Anyway, why I’m writing is tell you I’m having a party next Friday. Whether you’d like to come, I suggest you give me a ring and I’ll give you all the details. I hope you’ll be able to come and looking forward to hearing from you.
小题1:how改成what
小题2:see改成saw
小题3:ask改成asking
小题4:was改成has或去掉was
小题5:up改成down
小题6:and改成but
小题7:them改成it
小题8:is后面加to
小题9:whether改成if
小题10:looking改成look
题目分析：
小题1:how改成what，和do with连用是what。
小题2:see改成saw，since后面用一般过去时
小题3:ask改成asking，think of后面接动名词做宾语
小题4:was改成has或去掉was。Happen不能用被动语态
小题5:up改成down，write sth down把…写下
小题6:and改成but，我记得写下的，但是我找不到了。
小题7:them改成it，这里指代your number
小题8:is后面加to，用不定式做表语
小题9:whether改成if，如果你想来，我建议你给我打个电话。
小题10:looking改成look，和come是并列动词，用原形
