<em>Here's an example letter.</em>
Dear Shenn,
How are you? I haven't heard from you in months. I trust you're well. I'm hoping we could meet this coming Christmas season.
I've recently transferred to another school this semester, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm now on my second year in high school. We have a lot of homework and it has been keeping me busy. Are you also busy in school?
On weekends, I spend time with my family and a new family member, Dobbie. No, he's not my brother. He's a Golden Retriever that I've been asking my dad for a very long time. My parents taught me how to take care of him because they say it would teach me responsibility and independence. Honestly, having a dog is not all fun and games. I sometimes feel exhausted, but I'm blessed that my mom loves dogs too; so we take turns taking care of him.
Before I forget, I'd like to invite you over this Christmas eve. My family will be hosting a party at home and we're very much excited to have you as one of our guests.
I'm looking forward to your reply. I hope you and your family are in good health. Do give them my regards.
Sincerely,
<em>Your Name </em>

Also known as a lava neck or volcanic plug, a volcanic neck is formed when magma solidifies within a vent of an active volcano. This can harness great amounts of pressures which could lead to an explosive eruption.</span>
