______________,

How are you? I received you letter yesterday and was very happy to read it.

I wanted to tell you about my new pets. I got 3 new Gold Fish as a New Year's gift from my parents. They are so tiny and so beautiful. I have kept them in a small fish bowl.

My parents have given me the responsibility of feeding the fish everyday and keeping the fish bowl clean.

Do come and visit me soon so that you too can see my new pets. I will wait for your reply.
