My grandfather is an intelligent person. He loves to learn new things and has always worked very hard. He studied physics and mathematics, worked as a university teacher, and was later employed in research. He sometimes helps me with my homework. He is also quiet and kind. When I was younger, he always played with me.
In conclusion, he is a fantastic person and a true example for me.

Letter to Paula
Hi Paula,
It was great to hear from you! Sorry I haven’t written for so long, but I’ve been very busy. Happy birthday! Enjoy your day. I have been thinking about us meeting up this weekend.
First of all, I have had final exams for the last three weeks, and I am stressed! On the other hand, you know that I play basketball and train three days a week. This year we are better than last year; I am excited that we are winning more games this season.
I wanted to organize a dinner with our friends from the village this weekend because it has been a long time since we all met. Would you help me organize it? Do you like the idea? Write soon!
See you,
