Hi Jimmy!

Thanks for your email . It was great to hear from you!

I'm very happy that you want to participate in a Gorilla Fun Run. Normally, people do not usually encourage to do it!

My experience in the London Marathon last year was really exciting because I had a good time with other friends that also came. It was fun to run dressed as a gorilla!

My advice would be: do not take it very seriously, you should go to have fun, but if you want to get fit for the run, you have to practice a lot before and count your time.
After the London Marathon I will wait for your news!

About me, I'm still studying here in New York and I love this city! I want to live here forever.

Well, I'd better go. My dog wants to get out.

Write soon,
Mark

PS Thanks for ask me to some advice!

Hi Jimmy!

Thanks for the email. It’s been fantastic to know about you again! Its years since I don’t hear from you!

It’s great to know that you’re going to take part in that charity run. If you want to get fit for the run you should start jogging either in the street or in a gym and, if possible, going cycling. Moreover, if I were you I’d go swimming or simply go for a daily stroll for your legs to get used to exercise. Besides, you ought to eat healthy and have a balanced diet. Finally you should avoid skipping meals and you must stay away from junk food!

You won’t believe that but I’m going to take part in that run as well! I decided a week ago with a friend of mine.

That’s all for now. I’d better go.

All the best,

Mark

Hi! How are you doing? I am happy you could finally write. I know you were studying hard for your final exams last week. That's why I didn't bother you sooner. Do you have good feelings about them?

You will never believe what happened to me last weekend. My parents, my brother and I went to the mountain to spend some time together. Mum says that with school and all this stuff we don't talk too much. We don't look like a joined family, she says. Well, during the trip everything looked cool, but everything changed when we arrived. The weekend turned up amazingly boring! Ok, they planed the trip, but not the activities to do! We were at the house all the day, and moreover, without TV or even radio!

I know you are always going camping so I was wondering if you could give us some ideas about what to do once we are there. I truly need your help because my parents are thinking to go there every weekend!

Well, I should go. Dad is calling me! He is probably having problems with the Microsoft Office again.

That's all for now,

John

Hi there,

How’s it going?  I’m glad to hear that all’s well. I’m so happy to see, that you and Ellie are going to take part in this marathon! It’s a great opportunity. As you may of have heard, it contributes to save the remaining gorillas in captive camps in Africa. 

 On the advice, I would go to a nutritionist; they will give you a more detailed programme of what food is more suitable for you .Another thing that you could do, would be to plan a daily exercise routine and stick to it. Don’t put too much pressure on your body, but if you need it get a Personal trainer. 

By the way, Lisa and I, are toying up with the idea of christening Erik, so we would be very glad if you and Ellie, would be his god-parents. It’s not yet clear, but let me know if it’s fine with you. 

Well, I’d better go, the baby is crying and I’m alone at home. I hope that you do well in the marathon and that we keep more often in contact. 

All the best, 

Jimmy

PS: Give my kiss to Ellie.

Hi!

It’s great to hear from you. I hope everything it’s ok.

There’re many ways to keep fit but the best one is to be regular with the exercise at least one hour per day. Nevertheless, if you want to run a seven kilometres race you should train harder.

Nowadays, there exist many ways of exercise your body and I hardly think that you have to get fun while you do exercise. If you combine it with a good diet, I’m sure that you’ll have good results in the Fun Race.

Buy the way I have heard that there’s a new fabulous gym in the centre and not only it’s cheap but also there’re a lot of activities such as dances from others countries, spinning,..

I leave you. My brother needs the computer.

See you,

Mark

PS/ Let me know how it goes the race

Hi Jimmy!

Thank you for your email. It has Been fantastic hearing about you!

I think it's a great idea to participate in a marathon. The best way to stay fit is to do 1 hour of exercise daily which is something that is very important for our body. You can make a series of activities at home or in the gym. The most important thing is to follow everyday routine that alongside a healthy diet! It will help you on the day of the competition.

Oh, guess what? I've now joined a basketball team! You know I had been toying with this idea for a long time so finally I did it. It's great, everyone is amazing and we have won a cup!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Take care,

Mark

Hello!

It's nice to hear from you! I was thinking to write you soon.

It's true that I took part in the London Marathon last year and this is something that if I could I'd repeat. Well, basicly this is an activity for having fun so I recommend you to let the shame in your house. Obviously, this will be better if you win the marathon. If you are toying with this idea, you have to do sport like running a few hours per day or going to the gym. However, the best way to be fit for this is training everyday in the places that the marathon is going to take place, like if you were taking the marathon.

There's not a lot of brand new things about me. I've just finished my first term exams and now I'm working on my investigation project. Please, give me news when you finish the marathon.

I'd better go. My investigation project is waiting for me.

All the best,

Mark

PS My parents send their best wishes.
