Dear John,
Thank you very much for your letter. I am glad that you enjoyed our holiday with me. We enjoyed having you and your sister here. We hope that you will both be able to come again next year. Perhaps you'll be able to(能) stay longer next time. A week is not really long enough, is it? If your school has five weeks' holiday next year, perhaps you will be able to stay with us for two or three weeks.

They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there.
