Dear Mike,
I want to thank you again of having me in your home for the summer holidays. I returned to my village after moving away so long and it was really delighted to see most of my old friends again. I told my parents and all my friend here what a great time I had. I found very interesting to ride a horse down a river. I also enjoyed the evenings we spent them together. But I can't forget the good food you cook for me. It was wonderful. I wish you two can come to my home some time soon. Father and Mother look forward to see you. Maybe you could come during a winter holidays. My uncle Ben will also come back for Christmas with us. I’m sure we'll have a wonderful time together.
With best wishes.
Yours truly,
Tom
