Answer 1

Dear Tom,

Thank you for your last letter. I apologise for not writing you back sooner, but I was very busy with a school project on History.

As I have mentioned above, I am rather busy at school, we've got lots of projects and assignments. Fortunately, in weekends I can spend my time with my parents either in the mountains or in the countryside at my grandparents.

What about you? How are things at your school? How do you spend your spare time? By the way, I hope Martin's recovered after his illness. Please, tell him I said "hello".

Now I have to finish my letter, my mom is calling me to dinner. Please send my regards to your parents.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Love,
Diana
