Dear Lis,
Hi! Thank you for your letter. Drawing is rather good hobby. Do you draw in pencil or in oils? Do you attend special classes? What is your favourite painter? As for me, I fond of dancing. I attend a dance studio twice a week. Dance classes give me much joy and happiness. We learn different kinds of dances: folk, hip-hop, break-dance, step. My hobby helps me to become more self-confident. I enjoy it very much. I often visit different dance competitions. I dream about international contests. So learning foreign languages is necessary. At English lessons, we use a lot of methods. We learn grammar rules and make dialogues with new words. Sometimes we listen a story and then we try to retell it. It is difficult.
Best wishes,
Kate
