Dear Mark,
Thank you for your recent letter. I am awfully sorry for not writing to you earlier,
I had very little free time because I was busy with my school tasks.
You have written that you are also busy doing your biology project at school. I have always considered it might be useful to take care of your health on time.
In your previous letter you asked me about my health. To be honest, I have recently visited a doctor and I am totally disappointed with the results. I have got a little sick and also put on weight recently and this led to a deterioration in my health. Doctor recommended me to change my life style to a healthy one by doing sports, eating healthy food and spending more time in the open air. But, in general, I feel good.
I know that you are fond of travelling. Where are you planning to go next? Are you planning to go with your friends or parents? Where will you stay?
I am looking forward to your answer. Keep in touch.
Love,
Alex
