dear ben,  i was very glad to receive your letter.

i like reading very much. i like detective and horror stories. i think they are puzzling and exciting. my favourite author is steven king.   he’s   the best author to write horror and thrilling book. i like all his books. you should read it.   i think you'll like it. i am sure that   people will still be fond of books in the future. nowadays a lot of people prefer watching tv to reading books. but many people think that our lives would be dull without books. i think that electronic books are going to replace traditional books in the future. what do you think about it?

i’ll be waiting for your answer!

yours,…….
