Dear … ,
Thanks for your letter. It’s nice to hear from you again. I enjoyed your story about the 1st of September in your school.
You’ve asked me about my hobbies. Last week I went to watch a tennis match and got Maria Sharapova’s autograph. She is amazing! Do you know that besides being a brilliant tennis player, she’s a successful businesswoman? She has also given a lot of time and money to charity. She donated over $100,000 to Gomel area of Belarus affected by Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster and launched a $210,000 scholarship programme for students from Chernobyl area. Have you ever met any celebrity in person? Whom and how? Whom would you like to meet and talk to? Are you interested in collecting autographs?
Looking forward to your letter.
Bye,
Ronnie
