Dear John,

I have received your letter and I feel so glad when knowing that you had passed your examinations with good marks. You want me to tell you about my family rules, and the importance of family in my life? I am always willing to tell you all about my family.

Family rules? It's an interesting topic, isn't it? It may be obvious that every family has its own rules. Mine has a few, apart from our traditional rules, especially for this school year as I'm in the final year.First, I'm not allowed to watch TV, nearly no, except when there is a good or interesting movie or when I have finished all my homework and exercises. And never do my parents let me stay up so much late at night.Next my parents don't permit me to go out with my friends without necessary reason for example birthdays.Besides, I have to take a

balanced diet to keep fit for my coming exam. And one more thing I have to keep up is talking on the phone, that is I have to set a limit to my using of the phone.

For me, family is very important part of my everyday life. It helps me in improving my personality. It also helps me in shaping my life. It teaches me the value of love, affection, care, truthfulness and self-confidence and provides me tools and suggestions which are necessary to get success in life.Family is a place where I can be myself. It is a place where I am accepted for what I am. This is where I am completely tension free and everyone is there to help me. Family encourages me when I am surrounded by problems. It helps me survive through tough times and bring joy and happiness into my life. Now I am preparing for my GCSE examination and the entrance examination. They are very hard for me, but I try my best to pass the exams with good marks.

I have told you something about my family rules. How about your family rules? Are you ready to let me know about it? I am really excited to hear about it. And I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes to you, Love,

Nam
