Hello Kate,
It was a real pleasure for me to have received your last letter. You listed lots of things and errands you have to do during a day and it seems to me you are annoyed with the situation.
As to me, I also have a great deal of work to do both at school and at home. Apart from doing ordinary school homework, I'm preparing for the college exams, I hope you remember, I mentioned them in my last letter. I study at home because I prefer working on my own in a quiet place, rather than sitting in an auditorium full of raucous teenagers.
I also have to look after my younger six-years-old brother when my mum at work or when she does shopping. More often than not I have to cook dinner for the family because my mother and father work till late on weekdays.
As you probably guess it's very difficult to find some time for doing sports, but I do, so I keep fit, nevertheless all obstacles. I even find a few hours a day to help my classmate with her homework !
So, Kate, for the first thing, I would advise you to avoid procrastination especially when it comes to dealing with your household errands. Then, I strongly recommend you to make up a to-do list for a day and stick to it. I promise you will definitely feel how it is getting easier for you to approach any problem that you considered to be unsolvable. Well, I hope this will help.
O, I hardly forgot to mention that I'm flying to Turkey with my aunt the day after tomorrow. She has just called and has invited me to join her to spend her vacation in Instanbul together. I'm sure that is going to be the trip to remember ! I will write you back when I return.
Waiting for your reply,
Dasha

Dear Anna
In your last letter you asked me to tell you about my pets. OK, I can talk for hours on this topic. I have a dog; his name is La boule. That’s a French word which means a ball. He is a pug and he is very funny. I also have a hamster. His name is Masha. Not a usual name for a hamster, you say, but he is very curious and smart enough. I would also like to have a cat, but perhaps not now.
I’m fine, no changes since the last time. I’m passing my exams next week. After that, I’m looking forward to going abroad. I like traveling a lot. I’ve visited just a few European countries but I fell in love with the Old world. My dream is to go to Paris. This is the city of love, croissants and haut-couture. I think every person should see it and not necessarily die after it!
You told me that you had been to many countries. Tell me about your greatest trip! Have you been to Paris, did you like it? What are you going to do this summer? Where would you like to go?
I’m so happy that your sister married! Wish her and her husband a very good luck! Hope the wedding was as gorgeous as the bride was!
Could you send me some photos?
Sorry, I have to go, my parents are leaving on holidays, I need to see them off.
Waiting for your letter,
Yours truly,
Masha
