Dear Ben,

Thanks for your letter! It was nice to hear from you!  In your letter you asked me some questions and I'll do my best to answer them all.

Frankly speaking, I rarely do any housework. Sometimes I go shopping and wash the dishes or tidy my room, vacuum the carpet and take the rubbish out.  Actually, I love cooking but I can't cope with complex dishes. So I prefer cooking  something easy like salad, scrambled eggs or fried potatoes for myself.  I think that boys should know how to keep house and cook meals because it can be useful for them in their future life.  

Anyway, write back and tell me about your hiking plans.  How many classmates are going with you? Where are you planning to go? What activities are you going to have?

Sorry, I've to go now to do my homework. Keep in touch!

Best wishes,
