Dear Ann,
I’ve just received your letter. Thank you very much. You are asking me about my free time. Well, usually I read books or watch TV in my free time. Sometimes I go out with my friends to the cinema or to the museums and I go shopping with my family. Actually, I don’t like sports very much. I can play chess or go skating once a year, but most of the time I am not active.
I have to do my homework now. Hope to hear from you soon.
Your friend, Olga
Hi, Boris, It’s been great to hear from you. My holidays are coming to an end. I’m having a lot of fun. I spend most of my time travelling with my parents. We have been to many interesting places around the city where I live. I love it because I hate staying at home during my holidays. I find it very boring. It's more interesting to be out with your friends or travel with your family. Because I was away most of the time I didn't do much sport, though usually I'm fond of cycling, playing football and skiing in winter. Write soon. All the best, Misha
Dear Susan,
Your letter has been a pleasant surprise. Thanks a lot. I hope you’re well.
In your letter you asked me if I learn any foreign languages besides English. Actually, yes, I do. I study German and I find learning very interesting and thrilling. I read books, watch movies and cartoons in German, so, as you can see, the process of learning is not so boring. In the future I want to become an interpreter. I am really excited about this profession!
Unfortunately, I have to go now. Write to me how you are doing.
Take care,
Alina
Dear Diana,
Thank you for the letter.
You are writing that you've begun doing French. Sorry that it gives you trouble but I am sure it will be easier soon. Everything is rather difficult at the beginning. I know it because I'm learning two foreign languages. My second foreign language is Italian. I’ve chosen it because it sounds beautiful and I love Italian songs. I find learning foreign languages fairly interesting. Especially I love speaking Italian and English and reading books in both the languages. As I hope to become a journalist, I'm sure these languages will help me in my career.
Keep in touch,
Love, Alena
Dear Jane,
Many thanks for the letter.
You would like to know about the places of interest in St Petersburg. To my mind, two days are not enough to see all places in the city that are worth visiting, but still you can visit many important sights. I recommend you to visit the center of St Petersburg first. You should walk along Nevsky Prospect, take a look at Palace Square and at Winter Palace. You should also visit the Russian Museum because it has a rich collection of Russian paintings.
Unfortunately, I have to do my homework now. Say hello to your family from me.
Sincerely,
Kolya

Hello, Robert,
Your letter has been a pleasant surprise. I’m so happy that you are coming to Russia. Do you think we'll be able to meet? Of course you can't do such a big city as St Petersburg in two days. There is so much to see. I stayed in St. Petersburg for a week last summer and couldn't visit half the places I had planned. My advice is to begin with the city center where Dvortsovaya Square is situated. From there you can start a bus tour around this beautiful city. As for the museums you should visit the Hermitage and the Russian Museum with their wonderful collections of pictures.
Looking forward to your answer,
Missing you, Nikita
