We are going to spend Christmas with my aunt’s family. My mum says that I’ll enjoy it and that I’ll meet my cousin Jane Smith there. I’ve never seen her but my mum often tells me about her. Jane is as old as I am – she is eleven. Her birthday is very soon – on New Year’s Day. Jane is British and she was born in Britain but then her family moved to America. Now they live in Washington.
I want to give Jane a disc of classical music as a birthday present. My mum says she loves music and plays the piano very well. Jane also loves animals and she takes a good care of her dog and her parrot. She wants to have a cat, too, but her Mum is against it.
Jane does very well at school. She likes Literature and History but her favorite subject is German.

Dear Daniel,
Thanks for your letter. How are the things going on? Did something new happen in your life? My family misses you. We hope to see you next year.
I want to tell you about a festival in my country, I’m talking about the International Women’s Day. It’s celebrated on the 8th of March every year in all Russian cities. Men and boys do all housework this day. Also they present flower and gifts and tell pleasant words to their grandmother, mums, sisters, wifes, daughters.
What festivals are there in your country? What is your favorite festival? Tell me about it, please. Well, I need to do my homework.
Love,
Sally
