Writing an email:

Dear Mr. Kangaroo,

I hope you are doing well! First, happy 13th birthday! I hope you had a great celebration!

I’m doing well. My family is also fine. We are busy with school and work, but we are all healthy. 

My little brother is growing fast, and my parents are happy too.

How are you? How is your family? I would love to know what you’ve been doing.

You asked about my best friend. My best friend is Cora. She has reddish hair and blue eyes. 

She is very kind and always makes me laugh. We like to hang out together and have fun.

I hope to hear from you soon. Take care and say hello to your family for me!

Best wishes,

Jessica
