Dear Casey,

You asked in your last letter about my spare

time activities. Well, I like much more than one,

56.__________

such as painting and modle making, so my favorite

57.__________

is dancing. I started when I was eight year old,

58.__________

and it's great fun! Dancing was not difficult. If

59.__________

you want to do it good, you need to find a good

60.__________

dancing teacher and taking lessons regularly.

61.__________

That's I did and I also had to take exams every

62.__________

six months. Now, I've stopped go to lessons.

63.__________

I sometimes take part in performances at our

64.__________

school, that I realy enjoy very much.

65.__________

Regards,

Minmin
