Hi Jack,      

I’m doing well. Thanks for the email. I’m sorry to hear that you’re so busy with your studies and have too many chores to do. It’s true, we don’t have much free time, but doing a few chores doesn’t take long. I think we should try to help our parents because it’s not fair for them to do everything.

, but I still help around the house. I make my bed every day and clean my room twice a week. I also dust the furniture. It makes my parents happy and I like helping.

We’re having a barbecue in the garden.

Talk to you soon!

Best,

Ryan
