Dear Hailey, Thanks a lot. I was happy to get your letter. I was surprised that you can ride a horse.
In your letter you asked me about my favorite activity. I like to play the guitar. Of course it 's my hobby. I began to play this musical instrument when I was ten. And now I play very difficult musical compositions. What's more, I've taken part in several contests. I 'm sure that it's rather difficult to play the guitar because you must practice a lot to be successful. As for my dream, I 'd like to become a famous guitarist.
I'm sorry I must go to musical school. Write back soon! Best wishes, Joshua

I've been watching this brilliant film for two hours. it's my cup of tea. I've recently gone to the theatre and I liked the play, it's my cup of tea.
I've been typing this report since morning. it's not a piece of cake. I've passed this test easily. it's a piece of cake!
Tom has just promised not to spill the beans about my plans to get married. Bill has been already talking about his plans for an hour and I promised not to spill the beans
You have to take everything she says with a pinch of salt, because she has recently told a lie. Tom has been always lying since his childhood so you shouldn't take everything with a pinch of salt.
you've broke this vase, it's no use crying over spilt milk. he has been braking everything all the morning, it's no use crying over spilt milk
