I study writing letters:-) Will be very grateful if you correct my mistakes:) Dear Tom, Thanks for your email! It was great to hear from you! Sorry to hear about your illness... I hope you are well now. I am doing well, and you? Glad to hear about your brother's feelings about his new job. I'm sure he will be very successful there! My sister is going to finish her school year as the best student. She is studing hard and always arguing with me. Her studying finishes in a month - I am looking forward to that! What about me: I am just like a half a year ago) As for myself, nothing much changed since the past 6 months. I am at my school, with my girlfriend. Nothing have much happened since we saw each other last time. I'm really happy about your visiting my city on in May. You asked my about the cheap hotels... I can recommend you one, just in the city centre, next to the Conference hall. It calles is called "The break", and it's quite cheap. But, it is not necessary for you to pay for the hotel! My family welcomes you to stay in our house that time. My uncle has been living in Karakas since January. So, you can stay in his former room. We all will be very pleasant for your living with us! Anyway, I wiil be very happy to show you around. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best wishes, Daniel
