Dear Ben,

Thanks a lot for your letter. It was great to hear from you!  

In your letter you asked me about reading books. Well, I enjoy reading science fiction books. My favourite book at the moment is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It's about the conflict of the mankind with ant-like aliens - "buggers". The main character is a boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, who is a prodigy. The more I read about our possible future, the more I think that people will not be fond of books in 100 years. I think they will find a way to upload information to the brain.

By the way, how was your trip to Britain? Who did you go with? Was the weather good?

Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework.  Write back soon.

Best wishes,
