Dear Steave,
Thank you for your letter.
You know that our family is fond of reading! (or "enjoys reading" - they're interchangeable)
I like to read books by Russian and foreign authors. I prefer reading fiction. I also like fairy-tailes, thrillers and love stories. My favorite authors are L. Tolstoy, A. Pushkin, L. Carrol, O. Wilde and others. I have a good collection of books at home. My favorite books are Chronicles of Narnia and Alice in Wonderland. I think you should read them!
My parents are also fo<strike>u</strike>nd of reading. My mother likes essays and poetry. My father prefers to read scientific books, but sometimes he reads detective stories. My elder brother is interested in books about castles and he knows everything about them! My grandmother often reads books about knitting and batch (Do you mean "выпечка"? It's called pastry). It's a matter of fact that her cooking is very tasty! My grandfather is a well-read man. He knows <strike>about</strike> (I just feel like it sounds better without "about") everything! He likes to read historical books. By the way, he knows German (if you're speaking of language) and sometimes he reads books in the original language.
My congratulations to your sister! I hope she is happy. How can you spent her married? (What do you mean?) What were the presents given to her? Do<strike>es</strike> you like her husband?
I hope to get your letter soon.
Best wishes,
Dasha.
