Dear Suryo,
Hows life? I know you must be very busy these days since its
the beginning of the term. I hope you are too tired and still have
time for yourself. I found that the school here is exciting too. I
have made a lot of friends, Ill tell you about them later on my
next e-mail.
I have a new hobby now. Planting! You wont believe it, I grow
many kinds of fruit here such as guava, mango, orange, and
dragon fruit. I usually buy the seed at a nearby shop. Im crazy
about planting now. I guess because its so easy to get the
seeds or young plants, and the soil seems so nice to plants.
Everything grows easily here. I own a small farm behind my
house. I love my farm. Its 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 know how they taste.
Bye!
Almusto

SUBJECT: Great vacation!
Dear Young,
Hi, mate. How is everything? And how was your holiday? Last
holiday, mom, dad and I visited Thailand. It was the most exciting
island. We visited many interesting places there. Everyday we got up
early to travel some places.
Just like today, we got up early again because we wanted to go to
Phi Phi Le island to take some pictures of the beach which was used by
The Beachs Producer, director and crews to make a film. We went there
with Sarah Clark (Film Publicist) and Ross Palmer by a speed boat, it
took about forty-five minutes to get there. When we got there, we
walked around and took some pictures. Then we went back to Phuket
and the hotel.
In the afternoon, we went to Hat Surin to watch them making the
film. We saw Leonardo De Caprio. My Dad had a problem with
Leonardos bodyguard because he tried to take a picture of Leonardo
and the director. Fortunately, I could take some pictures of Leonardo
and I will show you later.
Well, What about your holiday? I really want to hear from you soon.
Please mail me.

Regards,
Ume
