Question

This is part of a letter from your Australian pen-friend, Anna.

Answer 1

Answer with Explanation:

Dear Anna,

        Thank you for keeping in touch. I've been really busy with my online classes this month since they started. I have two classes every day and the first one starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 9 a.m. while the second one starts at 1 p.m. and ends at 2 p.m. After that, I usually finish my worksheets for the day. I barely have time to watch TV nor surf the internet. How about you? What's keeping you busy lately?

       Once this semester ends, I'm going to travel with my parents to the countryside. We'll be meeting my grandma and grandpa whom we've missed so much. We haven't seen them since the lockdown. The security borders are now laxed, so it'll surely be easier to visit them. I can't wait to give my present to grandma. My mom and I made her a special gift for her birthday. Do you also have any future plans?

      I'm looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Your Name

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi, Anna!

I've been doing a lot lately -- going swimming, eating out, and I even went sky diving! I wish you were here, so that we could do our traditional sleepovers.

Also, I've been researching colleges. I know that Yale has always been our dream, but I'm scared that you won't be back in time for it. We've made a lot of plans for the future, but I'm not sure that we'll be able to achieve them all.

It's going to be hard without you next year. I hope you're doing fine, though. How's the designing coming?
