Dear John,
Thank you for your letter. I'll tell you about my parents too.
My parents are quite young: my mum is thirty-seven and dad is forty. We usually get on very well, although we do not always agree with each other. I know they worry a lot about my safety, that is why I can't say that I do everything I want to.
What I like about our relationship is that we always talk and listen to each other. I think I have quite a lot of freedom, but I have worked for it. My parents allow me to do all the extracurricular activities I want, and go to whatever parties I want to go to as long as I study well and stay out of trouble.
I can say I trust my parents and they trust me.
You write that you have an elder brother. Do you get on well with him?
Best wishes,
