Dear Tom,

I hope this letter finds you well. It has been a few months since we last wrote to each other, and I really miss our conversations. Life here in high school is quite busy, but I still find time to think about our friendship.

School has started again, and I am now in the first year of high school. The classes are more challenging than before, and there are a lot of new subjects to learn. However, I am trying my best to keep up with everything. My favorite subject is English, and I enjoy reading books and watching movies in English. Sometimes I even try to write short stories in English, which is fun but also a bit difficult.

In my free time, I like playing basketball with my classmates. We often have matches after school, and it's a great way to relax. I also enjoy listening to music and spending time with my family. My parents are very supportive, and they always encourage me to study hard and be a good person.

I would love to hear about your life too. How are your studies going? Have you made any new friends? What are your hobbies these days? I can't wait to read your reply.

Take care, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,
