You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend John who writes:
| ...Last week my mom went to New York to help my aunt with her new baby. My dad and I had to do all the housework ourselves. What kind of family chores do you normally have, if at all? What would you cook for yourself, if you had to? Do you think boys should be able to cook and to keep house, and why? Next weekend I'm going hiking with my classmates... |
Write a letter to John. In your letter answer his questions, ask 3 questions about his summer plans. Write 100–140 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.

Dear John,
Thanks for your letter. Sorry that I couldn’t answer you earlier. I was doing a school project.
Like any other family we have some chores, such as cleaning, preparing food, buying it, cleaning the pets toilets etc. if I had to cook for myself I would try to make a pizza or a pie. I think that any boy should be able to cook and keep house, because this is a universal knowledge. I think that the opinion about dividing girl’s and boy’s responsibilities is stupid and not more than a prejudice.
Anyway, you've mentioned going to hike with your friends. Where are you going to? How many classmates are going with you? How much time are you going to spend there?
I've got to go as my friend is asking me for help.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Paul
