ответ: Hello Ben! How are you?
I miss you very much and therefore I want to share with you all that happened to me.
The most important thing that happened in my life - I found myself a new hobby, it's volleyball.
I signed up for volleyball at school and now I go there on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
I really like it there, it's so interesting!
And the most important thing I wanted to tell you is that competitions will be held there soon! We were told that we can invite our friends to participate too, so I decided to write to you.
I really hope that you will come, your friend Lina.
