TEST 18

Dear Hoa,

I am pleased that you and your family are well. I am fine, too. Here is a photo of me, my Mom and Dad, and my sister, Shannon. Can you send me a photo of you?

Let me tell you more about my parents.

My Mom works at home. She takes care of the family. Three mornings a week, she works part- time at a local supermarket. She and other women also cook lunch for homeless people once a week.

My Dad is a mechanic. He repairs machines in a factory. He works five days a week for about 40 hours, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. He prefers the morning shift .He has fewer days off than my Mom. However, when he has an afternoon free, he plays golf.

Dad gets about seven public holidays each year .He also has a three-week summer vacation. We always go to Florida on vacation. We have a great time and Dad plays more golf. Please write soon and tell me more about your family.

Best wishes,

Tim
