Dear (имя друга),
Sorry that I haven't been in touch for so long. I hope that everything is all right with you and your family.
I haven't written for so long because I was very busy preparing for my exams. You know that it is my last year at school and I have to get good results to be able to enter the best university of our country. I practice much. I write tests and read much literature, so I think that everything will be great.
How are your studies? What subjects do you like most? Are there any new teachers or subjects at your school? Just drop me a letter when you have time. Well, I'd better go now as I still have much work to do.
Take care and keep in touch!
Lots of love,
