Dear Fahad,
We miss you too! I'm glad to hear your classes are going well.
Lately, I've been playing games with my little brother, when I'm not too busy with my classes.
Next summer I will be going on a lot of hikes with my family, looking forward to it! Thank you for getting back to me.
Your friend,
___________.
