Dear John,

　　Thank you very much for your letter. I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me. We enjoyed having you and your sister here. We hope that you can come again next year. Perhaps you are staying longer next time you come. A week is not really long enough, is it? If your school has five weeks' holiday next year, perhaps you can stay with us for two or three weeks.

　　We have been long back at school three weeks now. It feels like three months! I think that you are both working very hard now because you are in Grade One. I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade One. Tom and Ann won't be in Grade One until 2006.

　　They went for a picnic yesterday but I didn't go with them because I cut (切、割) my foot and I couldn't walk very well. They went to an island (岛) and enjoyed themselves there. Do you still remember (记得) the island? That's where all five of us spent the last day of our holiday.

　　Tom, Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you. We hope to see you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Michael
