You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Jane who writes:
| ...Last weekend was my mom's anniversary and we had a family gathering. We entertained more than 25 people and lived on leftovers for 2 days after the event. What do you usually cook for special occasions? How often do you entertain people in your family? Do you normally celebrate your family holidays at home, or go to a cafe or to a club? Why? Oh, before I forget, my middle brother won our school tennis tournament... |

Dear Jane,
Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry for not writing you for so long. I was doing a school project.
Say congratulations to your brother for winning that tournament! When we have family gatherings we usually spend them at home, because our apartment is pretty big and it can accommodate many people at the same time. I usually help my mom to cover the table and to cook a holyday meal. She prepares some meat and garner, salads, and a holyday sweet cake. There is no need to entertain guests in a special way, we just talk about what happens in our lives and that’s all.
What's your middle brother's name? How long ago did he take up tennis? Is he planning to make tennis his career? I've got to go as my brother wants me to help him with his homework.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Sarah
