Dear Ivan,
How's life? I know you must be
very busy these days since it's the beginning of the term.
I hope you are not too tired and
still have time for yourself. I found that the school here is exciting too. I
have made a lot of friends, I'll tell you about them later on my next e-mail.
I have a new hobby now. Planting!
You won't believe it, I grow so many kinds of fruit -here such as guava,
mango, orange, and dragon fruit. I usually buy the seed at a nearby shop. I'm
crazy about planting now. I guess because it's so easy to get the seeds or
young plants, and the soil here seems so nice to plants. Everything grows
easily here. I own a small farm behind my house. I love my farm. It's about two
hundreds square meter. My little brother helps me at the farm. We make a
great team.
Well, I promise to send you some
fruits when they are ripe someday and let me now how they taste.
Bye!

like to eat.
