Dear..., Thank you for your letter. We like doing a lot of things in our family. My dad likes diving. He goes diving three times a week. My mum likes dancing. She has dancing lessons twice a week, and she always dances when we have a party. My granny likes cooking. She always makes yummy biscuits and cakes on Sundays. My little sister likes painting. She has painting lessons once a week, and she sometimes paints very nice pictures. I like playing the guitar and listening to music. I have guitar lessons on Saturdays. And what about your family? Write back soon.

Dear Tom,

Thank you for your letter. It was very interesting to read about what your family likes doing. In my family we also have a lot of hobbies, and we try to spend time together when we can.

My dad likes sport and he often goes running in the park. He usually runs three times a week, and sometimes he goes swimming at the weekend. My mum likes reading and gardening. She reads every evening, and in spring and summer she works in the garden and grows flowers and vegetables. My granny likes knitting and cooking too. She knits warm scarves in winter, and on Sundays she often makes pies for the whole family. My little brother likes playing football. He trains twice a week and plays with his friends after school.

As for me, I like computer games and drawing. I draw in my free time and sometimes I make posters for school projects. At the weekend I also like meeting my friends and listening to music.

Write back soon and tell me more about your hobbies and what you like doing together with your family.

Best wishes,
Alex
