Dear Abc,
How are you and your parents?I couldn't write a letter to you as i was busy with my school life. Although school life is hectic,i enjoy every moment i spend in my school.At 7:oo a.m in the morning,i start to school.
After the morning assembly our classes begin. In the classroom, my teachers do a superb job. In the free periods,i spend my time playing with my friends
and sometimes roam around.Convey my regards to aunty and uncle.Reply soon.

Yours faithfully,
Xyz

Dear Abc,
How are you and your parents? I couldn't write a letter to you as I was busy with my school life. Although school life is hectic, I enjoy every moment I spend in my school. At 7:00 a.m. in the morning, I go to school.
After the morning assembly our classes begin. In the classroom, my teachers do a superb job. In the free periods, I spend my time playing with my friends and sometimes roam around.

Convey my regards to Aunty and Uncle.Reply soon.

Yours, OR Yours sincerely

Many people write the address and sign on the right .Which is correct? Your address goes at top right. The recipient's address goes on the left above the salutation.

You can sign your letter on the left or on the right. With informal letters it does not matter.

You haven't really told your friend anything about what you do at school. Do you not do any sports? Which subjects do you like studying? How many pupils go to your school? Do you have homework to do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also please correct this sentence.

There were beautiful furniture in the rooms of the castle.

or
There was beautiful furniture in the rooms of the castle.
Which is grammatically correct.

You can also say "There were beautiful pieces of furniture in the rooms of the castle".
