Dear Nancy,
I'm very happy to hear from you so soon.
Yes, I've got really good marks in most subjects this year. But it was more difficult to study as it was the final school year. I had to take some exams and they weren't easy at all.
I also had a new subject at school. It was astronomy. I found it quite interesting and even fascinating.
My parents wanted me to be more serious and hard-working. So now I'm tired and exhausted. I'm going to have the most wonderful holidays. In September I'm starting my study at university.
I'm glad your parents have finally bought you a dog. I think dogs are faithful friends. What's its name? What does it look like? How do you spend your time together?
Hope you're having fun with your dog!
Best wishes,
