Dear brother/sister, Hi there, I hope you’re well. As you know I’ve been away from home for a long time. Working on a ship is not as interesting as it sounds. We sometimes visit interesting places but never for very long and most of the time I only look at water on the horizon. I really miss home and my family and friends. Please write and tell me everything that has happened and all the gossip and news… Tell me everything you can! Thanks Your brother Captain James Malek Chatting with friends - writing • Please answer this letter to your brother. • Ask him about his life • Tell him as much gossip as you can about your family • Please write 100 words • Use paragraphs !
