Hi James,

Thanks for your last email. You were right - It is really easy to do my own laundry. I think mom will be surprised when I tell her about it!

The first few weeks of university have been great, and I'm making lots of new friends. The only problem is that I've almost run out of money already. Eating out every day is so much more expensive than I thought it would be! You always made really good fried rice when you lived with us. Is it difficult to make?

Please tell Mom and Dad I said "hi" and make sure Mom waters the plants in my room, OK?

Mark

Hello Mark,

I'm glad it's all going well! Mom will be happy when she hears about how independent you're becoming. Maybe you can do all of our laundry the next time you visit us, haha.

About food, it's really important for you to take care of yourself. You can save a lot of money by making your own meals. Fried rice is really easy to cook, but it'll be much better for you to learn some healthier recipes. I think you should try a simple chicken curry. It's a bit more difficult to cook, but it's much healthier. It's also really good to make a lot of curry at once, and then freeze it. I guess you're really busy with your lessons, so it will be convenient for you to heat it up quickly when you're hungry. You could even share some with your new friends!

Anyway, see you soon, Mark!

James
