Dear Michael,

Thank you for your recent letter. It is so wonderful to hear from you! I am very glad that
you had a good vacation.
As for me, I also spent a wonderful vacation. First, I lived with my parents in the garden.
The weather was hot and I swam a lot with my friends. We played soccer and rode bicycles.
And in August we went to Cyprus with my parents. It is a large island in the
Mediterranean with a wonderful climate. We swam in the sea and were lying in the shade of
huge eucalyptus trees. We traveled along the mountain paths and played tennis. Anyway, it was
a memorable summer.
How did your academic year begin? Are there newcomers in your class? Any new
subjects? I’m sorry, I have to go to the sports section.

All the best,

Ivan
