Dear Olivia,
Thank you for your letter. I was deliriously happy to hear from you again. I'm sorry, I haven't answered earlier because I was busy with my studies.
In your letter, you asked me about the cold weather and issues of getting ill. I usually put on warm clothes and eat healthy food not to catch a cold. A healthy lifestyle for me is doing sports, for example, some stretching every morning and working out. If I do fall ill I usually ask my classmates for the lesson summary and do classwork at home.
In your letter, you told me about your cousins. I would like to know more about them. How old are they? Do they speak English? Where do they come from?
Anyway, I have to go now: my Mum asked me to help her with our dinner.
Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Daniil
