To, Veronika Gorlova, 234 Kingston Avenue, New Yourk. USA 25th January, 2016 Dear Zlata, Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school. You asked me to tell you about the way I celebrated the New Year. Well, it was a lot of fun. I went with my friends to my house, we celebrated until six o'clock in the morning. By the way, how do you celebrate this wonderful holiday? I hope to receive an answer in the next letter. Unfortunately, I'd better go now as I've got loads of homework to do. Take care and keep in touch! All the best, Veronika.
