Dear Emma,
Thanks for your letter. I was very glad to get it.
As for my family, we are very friendly indeed. We are five: mum, dad, me and two my younger twin-sisters. They are also annoying sometimes like your brother, but I think it is just the matter of their age. You know my mum is a housewife, so she spends most of her time with them. But weekends we spend all together. I like this time because our father always joins us. We usually drive to the country or to the seaside. We have a lot of fun together.
Well, what about you? How do you spend the weekends? Where do you go with your friends or with your brother? Is your brother much younger than you or not? Have you got anything in common with him? Anyway, I want you to get along with him.
Now I must go. Write soon.
Best wishes,
Elena
