Answer 1

One possible version：
Dear Tom,
I’m very glad to receive your letter and happy to talk about reading with you. As we all know, books are of great help to human development and we can benefit a lot from reading. I like reading very much, especially the story books, varying from Chinese stories to English stories.
On the one hand, out-of-class reading is a way of relaxation after a long time of studying. On the other hand, through reading, we learn what cannot be learnt in our classrooms, which can enrich our mind, broaden our horizon and improve my reading and writing abilities. Some stories have taught me about love, happiness and so on.
On the whole, Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It has become a part of my life. And how about you? I hope you can share your ideas with me next time.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
