Dear Claire,
I’m writing to tell you my life after I became an eighth grade student. I have more homework than before. So my life is full every day. I go out for a walk with my parents every day after doing my homework. And I take piano lessons twice a week, 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?
Mark

Dear Mark,
I’m happy to hear that you have such a full life. I have less homework, but I’m also very busy. I’m learning swing dance and I need to take lessons four times a week. And I also help my mother with housework every day. I run in the morning and dance in the evening. They keep my mind clear and my body healthy. That’s what I do in my free time.
Claire
