Thanks a lot for your gift. I’m very happy to hear that you had a nice holiday in Italy.

My English teacher said I wasn’t good at it, especially speaking and writing. Although I’ve tried my best, I can’t improve my English. Can you show me how to study it well? I’ll be very grateful if you drop me a few lines about it. If only you were here, then I can learn something from you.
Write to me soon and tell me all your news. By the way, send my best regards to your parents.
Warmest regards
Mai.
