Dear Jim,
Thank you for your letter. I'm fine, so is my sister. You know, she is going to London, so she is packing things now.
You were asking me about my holidays. They were the best holidays I've ever had! I spent a month in the country with my grandparents.They are cool! Grandma has cows and hens, so we ate fresh cheese, sour cream and eggs every day! And I swam in the river. I got two new friends, so I should write them letters too. Then, I returned to the city and became a member of a basketball club. Can you imagine, I played basketball for two months!
And what did you do in summer? Where have you been? Do you have any photos? I want to see them!
Yours,
Nick
