SAMPLE ANSWER.

Dear-----
How are you?The last time you wrote you asked about local news items,so I thought I'd fill you in on how Australia has been affected by the horrific tsunami which devastated so many countries around the Indian Ocean.

We first heard the shocking news on Boxing Day(26 December) but no one realized the extent of the damage or the human toll.It was such an unusual event,something one would only expect to see in a Hollywood film.Australia was affected because we are part of this region,geographically and politically.

Australia has close ties with Indonesia and Thailand, so we are focusing our aid chiefly on those countries.Our Foreign Minister is there now surveying the damage and key divisions of the Australian army are helping in Indonesia.

A friend of mine is the manager of one of the large resorts in Phuket-the one which was completely inundated.Fortunately,he was holidaying in Europe at the time!Many other Australians were so not lucky.

Trust you are well.Write soon. [177 words]
