43. One possible version: Dear Peter,
In your last letter, you asked me about my plan for the winter vacation. Well, there are things I want to change about myself. For example, I want to work harder on study, read more and help my parents to do some housework. So I am going to do all my homework carefully and discuss with my friends if
there are problems. Also, I want to spend two hours reading every day. And I am going to wash the dishes and sometimes maybe cook dinner for my parents. I believe doing these will make me a better student, and also make my parents happy.
