dear tom,
thanks a lot for your letter. it was great to hear from you again. i'm sorry i haven't written for so long, but i've been busy preparing for my exams.
in you letter you asked me about films and soap operas. actually i am keen on watching films. but i've never watched operas. well, i like watching fantasy and detective films. of corse, watching films in the cinema is good, but at home is better. but that's at least for my taste. do you likes operas? what kind of films do you like? have you ever seen soap operas?
anyway, i've to go now because it's time to go to bed. take care and keep in touch!
best wishes,
