Hello Alexsandra!

Thank you for your last letter. I thought I should tell you a little bit more about myself. I have two siblings, one brother and one sister. My sister lives in Stockholm and my brother lives in Sundsvall. I like to spend my spare time with friends and to take trips to other countries. I enjoy seeing a good movie at the cinema and I'm also interested in fishing. What do you like the most to do on your spare time? I have two children, living with me every other week. Axel who is 7 years old and Astrid who is 4.

Best regards Per-Erik

Hi Pia
I've made some changes to avoid redundancy. The text is quite simple and uses too many "även".
Tell me if you agree. Before edits:

Thank you Lilian
The original is written that way ...that's why I wrote the same way, but you are right, there are too many "och" and "även" in the source. It looks very good, apart from that I think "I like to spend my spare time with friends and travel to other countries." sounds like he likes to travel with his friend. The source doesn't say that, I think it must be "I like to spend my spare time with friends and also to travel to other countries."

"Vad gör du helst" does not mean "What do you usually do", it's more about what he/she prefer to do.
