Hi, Ben,
I'm sorry I haven't been in touch for a while. I'm glad that you have done so well.
You asked me about my favourite holiday. As for me, my favourite holiday it's New Year. It's very magic time when you are listen president's speech, eat tangerines, get and give presents.
And also prepairing for New Year is my favourite time. You can think what you are want to give for your relatives, decorate the Christmas tree and other interesting things.
And what is your favourite holiday? Why? And what do you like more: get or give presents?
Keep in touch!
Yours,
