Dear [Friend’s Name], 
I hope you’re doing well. I had a fantastic time during my summer holidays! I visited my grandparents in the countryside. The place is peaceful, with lots of trees and fresh air. I spent my days swimming in the lake, riding my bike, and enjoying the homemade treats Grandma made. The best part was the family picnic near the lake. It was so much fun! 
Can’t wait to hear about your holidays too. 
 
Best wishes,
[Your Name]
