Dear Mark,
Thanks for your letter. Sorry that I didn’t write earlier.
I agree with you that English grammar is difficult so I think it’s necessary to learn the rules and to do exercises. As for me I do it regularly. Going to a language school together is a great idea! We could practice English and visit many places. I’m free this summer and I can go with you.
Write what dates suit you best. Which course would you like to do? What level do you think we are? Where would you prefer to stay?
I have to go now to help my mom. I’ll get in touch soon.
Lots of love,
Helen

Your homework:

Goodbye!
