A letter to a friend Dear Mark, Thanks a lot for the letter. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write to you, but I've been really busy settling in. The new house is awesome! To be honest, I still haven't got used to getting up at six every morning to go to school. School is a long way off, and I have to get up very early. It was different before I moved to my new house. But it's not that bad. When I get home from school, I eat lunch and then I take a nap. In the afternoon, I finish my homework while I watch some tv. On weekends, I go out with friends because I get tired of being at home and those are the only days that I can visit the city. By the way, I'm so excited about the puppies our sheepdog has just had! I'm free in the summer, so of course, I'll go and see them all. I'll also help with the harvest. Anyway, I must go, as it's getting late and tomorrow I've got another early start. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Best Wishes, Renata.
