Dear Steve,
Thanks a lot for your letter. I'm glad your sister got married. How are you getting on with her husband? Is he a student? What kind of music does he enjoy?
In your letter you asked me about the reading habits in my fam¬ily. Well, my father often reads newspapers and magazines. He thinks that it is the only way to be in the know of everything. And my moth¬er is keen on reading romances and modern novels. However, she wouldn't mind reading about the life of well-known people.
As for me, I enjoy reading detective stories because they have interesting story lines and unusual endings. I am particularly cap¬tivated by characters who conduct investigations.
Actually, I'd better go now as I've got loads of homework to do tonight. Write soon!
All the best,
Ivan
