Dear Sneha,

I’ve been suggested your name by my English teacher and I would like to make you my penfriend.

My name is Steve, I recently turned 23, and I am living in Central London adjacent to the lake, which is the prime tourist attraction in the city. In my leisure time, I allocate majority of time to physical exercises such as yoga, gym and swimming. Personally, I believe that mental peace and stress-management can be accomplished from yoga which has breathing techniques as part of the practice, while swimming helps me to relax after work. In addition to these hobbies, I do hiking one a month and camping once in a fortnight to keep myself close to the nature. I also love spending time at home with my family and playing with my pet-dog which I adore.

I am really keen to know your leisure activities and interests and will be looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,

Steve
