Dear friend,
I was glad to get a letter from you. I hope you're well and I really happy for your brother.
I think that people collect things for their joy. Maybe your brother is a creative person and he really like to collect mugs. You should help him.
As for me, I'd like to collect a lot of thing. For example: stamps, postcards. I think collecting insects isn't less interesting than collecting another things.
I live in Russia and one of the most popular teen's hobbies in my country is sport. Volleyball, football - teenagers can't live without any types of sport.
Again thank you for your letter, hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Твое имя.
