Use: together, during, understanding, interested, board. dear missy, thank you for your letter. it was nice to learn something about your family. as for my family, it isn't big, but we are a close family. my dad is a manager. he is smart and friendly. he is in history. my mum is a music teacher. she is kind and . when i get a bad mark, i always tell her first. my lister isn't as naughty as many children are. we try to spend our free time . at the weekend we often go to the country for a picnic. in the evenings,we like playing games. would you like to come to us the next summer holidays? best wishes, nick
