Hi Harry,

How are you? And your family? Is it all okay?

Yes, my parents and I are coming to stay with you in the summer. I'm really happy too. I can't wait.

What can I say? Well... I'm fifteen and I live with my parents in Cardiff. It's a really good city. I'm attending the secondary school in Cardiff. Luckily for me I'm not bad at school and I have good marks. In my free time I play football or play videogames. I also listen to music and watch films. However I don't have any favourite singer or actor.

Sorry but now I have to go. Can't wait to see you.

Cheers

Tom
