Dear ,
Thank you for you letter. I was very glad to get it.
It's wonderful that you like reading. Reading is my hobby too. My parents don't influence my choice of books at all. They are happy that I perfer reading to playing computer games. My favourite genre is science fiction. I am crazy about astronauts, travelling in the open space and aliens. You know, it is not difficult to get a new book nowadays. I take books in the library, we exchange books at school or I read them on-line. Don't argue with your parents, they want you to be clever and well-read! 
Sorry, I must fly now. I have to walk my dog. 

Best wishes,
