"Hi
Daniel. How are you? I'm fine. My name is Peter and I'm 16 years old. I come
from London. In my free time, I do a lot of things. For example, I like playing
the guitar and listening to music. I don't like reading though. I rather like
playing games with my little brother and going outside. When I'm outside, I
prefer riding my bike or playing football. Even though I like sports, I don't
like playing volleyball or tennis. And I hate running! However, sometimes I
like to go swimming. I also enjoy going to the city and meeting my friends.
When I'm in the city, I can't stand sightseeing. What are your hobbies, Daniel?
Do you like sports? Hope to hear from you soon! Take care, Peter."
