　　Dear Alan,

　　How are you and your parents? Are you planning to visit us anytime soon?

　　We finally had a day off from school this week, but I had an awful day. I got up early but the weather was bad, so I stayed at home and helped my parents clean the garage. Then I went to the store and bought some food. Then I read a boring book and played computer games. My parents wanted to go for a drive, so I went with them. But that wasn't very interesting, either. Then I went to the movies. I saw “Shark!”, but it wasn't a very good movie.

Yours,

Bill
