Answer

One possible version：

Dear Peter,

      How is everything going? It seems that everyone is talking about whether we should have the 7-day holiday these days. Some people think that many places are too crowded during the holiday, especially the shops, the supermarkets and the places of interest. And there are too many cars on the highway and it will cause a lot of traffic accidents. What’s worse, it is bad for our environment, because too many cars will cause air pollution and if people throw rubbish, they will pollute the environment.

      However, other people don’t agree. They think if they have a long holiday, they can have a good rest after long time of working. Besides, family can get together. Last, they can go travelling to places they like.

      I think it is good to have a 7-day holiday. We can stay with our family, read some books or go to movies. If we want to travel, we can ride bikes to the nearby places. That’s a better way than travelling by car.

      What’s your idea? Could you write to tell me about it ?

                                                                            Yours,                                                        

                                                                             Jason
