You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Tom who writes:

       Last summer my parents and I went hiking to the mountains. We spent the whole week together and enjoyed it very much. How often do you take active holidays? Who do you think is the best company for you? What extreme sports would you like to try, if any, and why?
Last month our English class got an interesting project. We wrote a paper about interesting events in the past of our country ...

       Dear Tom,

       Thanks for your letter and excuse me for not writing. I was away on a holiday.

I’m glad to know you enjoyed your hiking week in the mountains together with your parents.

       Well, I like taking active holidays once every three months. Best company for me is usually my friends. Also my parents. I’d like to try motor car racing later, because the speed is exciting.

       Which event in the past of your country do you find most interesting? Are you going to do more such interesting projects? Were the events of your country’s past cultural or political?

       Sorry I must go, as I have to finish an important assignment on history.

       Write back soon.

       Take care,

       Dave
