Answer 1

Dear Ann,

I'm sorry that I haven't written you for a long time but I was very busy. Now I have some time to drop you a line.

My best friend is Jimmy. He's very fun and kind. We met two years ago in our school. I'm very glad to spend time with Jimmy. We usually play computer games. Jimmy is a very good player. He also studies well. Sometimes he helps me with this or that subject. We also go jogging in the mornings together.

And how are you? What do you think about my friend? Would you like to meet with Jimmy?

Well, I have to go now. See you later.

Love,

Tim.

Answer 2

Dear Ann,

It's always great to hear from you! In response to your questions, my best friend is someone who is very genuine and caring. We met back in college during our freshman year and we just clicked right away. We both love the same kind of music and we're both into sports, so we started hanging out a lot.

Nowadays, we spend a lot of time together on weekends. We like to go hiking, try new restaurants, or just hang out and watch movies. What I love about our friendship is that we're always there for each other. Whether it's just to vent about a tough day or to celebrate a big achievement, we always make time to support one another.

I'm sorry to hear that you have concerns about your friend. It's important to have open and honest communication with those we care about. Have you tried talking to her about your concerns? Maybe she's not aware of how her actions are being perceived.

I hope this letter finds you well. Take care!

Best regards, [Your Name]
