Hi Jake,
Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner.I have so many chores to do today.I have to do my homework,of course.I started about an hour ago,but I haven’t finished.Then I have to take the dog for a walk,water my mom’s plants,and do some shopping.I haven’t done any of those things yet because my grandfather came to chat to me.He loves talking,and I love listening to him.He started telling me about all of the chores he had to do when he was a kid.He had to get up at 5 am and chop wood and light the fire for breakfast.Then he had to collect water from the village well.Then he had to feed the animals—he and his family lived on the farm.
Anyway,I have to run now.
Take care,
Crystal

嗨,杰克：
对不起我不能马上给你回复了.我今天有很多的家务要去做.当然了.我不得不去做我的作业.我是在1小时之前开始的,但是我还没有完成.然后我不得不去遛狗,浇妈妈的花然后去购物.我还没有做完那些事情.因为我的祖父来和我谈话.他喜欢和我交谈,我也喜欢听他说.他开始告诉我当他是个孩子的时候不得不去做的所有的事情.他必须要在5点起床去砍柴烧火做饭.接着他又要从井里去打水.还要喂动物——他和他的家人都住在农场上.不管怎样,我得走（下线）了.
保重,
克瑞斯托
