Task 2: Write a reply to the following email. (6 pts)

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your email. I love YouTube too, and I use it almost every day.

First of all, I use it to study. I watch short lessons about English grammar and maths, and they often explain things better than a textbook. I also watch videos about football and technology because they are my favourite hobbies. Sometimes I watch funny videos or music clips to relax after school.

I think YouTube is great because it is free and you can learn anything you want. What about you? Do you have a favourite channel?

Write back soon,
Beth
