WRITE YOUR ANSWER HERE:

- Hello Alex!
You are right! The camp was very cool and
so exciting. I would like to have another
one. And obviously I would like to be your
friend!
As you said, my family sometimes gets on
my nerves but I love them. Well, I think
my cousin is my best friend. I really get on
well with him, we have a lot in common.
We both like volleyball and practice it, he
is a very good player. I wish someday be
as good as him.
Then, there is my mum. She is my number
one for all time. We are both different persons, our personalities are the
very opposite. However, I do a lot of things with her and I always have a
great time with her company.
Now, talking more about me. As I said, I love playing volleyball a lot. I also
love cooking and as strange as it seems I usually cook for my family and
they love it! But I think I love SLEEPING more than everything, sleep. I can
sleep all day!
I want to know about you too!
Answer soon,
Sofi
Amazing job, Sofi!! You’ve kept your email both informative and friendly.
Your email is also well-organised and your use of vocabulary is lovely!
