Dear Claire, I’m writing to tell you my life after I became a student in Grade Eight. I have more homework than before. So my life is full every day. I go out for a walk with my parents together every day after doing my homework. And I take piano lessons twice a week and play basketball three times a week. I hardly ever watch TV or play computer games because I am too busy. How about you? Are you the same as me? Yours, Mark |
