You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Linda who writes:
… I’ve recently joined a yoga group. We meet every Saturday afternoon in the park, and it’s free. The instructor is really patient. I’ve been dreaming of doing headstands for so long and now I can do both headstands and handstands! What do you do to keep fit? What advantages do you see in exercising as a group rather than on your own, if any? Do you believe it is important to have an instructor and why or why not?
By the way, my big brother wrote a children’s book and it got published! …
Write a letter to Linda.

Dear Linda,
Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry I couldn't answer you earlier, I had to prepare for the upcoming classes.
I am glad to know that you have found a new hobby and became closer to your dream.
I am not into sports, but I realise how important it is to take care of my body. I drink 8 glasses of water a day, eat a lot of fresh food. Moreover, I have PE classes three times a week at school. We exercise in a group and our instructor helps us a lot during the work-out. I believe, that everybody needs some guidance while exercising and I am really glad to have a professional coach. It is great to spend some time with like-minded people and have such a success with the result of your work.
I am really happy for your brother. How many people have already asked you about the book? How many people have already read it? Is he going to have a meeting with some readers?
I'm sorry, but I have to leave now, it's time for me to walk my dog.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Ella
