Dear Ann,    

I was very glad to hear from you. I haven't written for ages because of my school activities.    

Now I want to tell you about my summer holidays. When my holidays came I was very happy!  The weather was fine so my friends and I went for a walk every day. It was fun! Then I spent a month in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. It was great. I drank milk and ate a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me. I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays. We played football and tennis every day! There is a small river near the forest and we swam when the weather was fine. It was great!  I liked my holidays very much.    

That's enough for me today. I have to go now.    

Best regards to your family.  

Write soon.
