Dear Barbara, Thank you for your letter. It was so nice to hear from you. I hope your trip was wonderful.
I also traveled a lot this summer. In August, Elena and I were abroad. We spent two weeks in Scotland in the summer school. We lived and studied in a good public school. Would you like to know what is there?
Well,in the morning we spent 3 hours learning English. In class we read and discussed texts, learned poems by heart in English, played , asked questions, learn new words used in the computer and wrote their own stories. But we did not do the translation in Russia, on our the lesson because we are not done, they speak Russian. We also learned about English history and traditions.
Now we speak and read English much better, we did it last year . I have made many friends in Scotland. We also spent 3 days in London. I tried to call you but you were not available. Our impression of the UK and hope to visit it again. Best wishes from all of us. Your "lazy children." Elena and Olga.

She has not been finished to prepare the main course. Have you been dying from hunger ? 3. Have you ever tasted expensive Italian champagne "Martini Asti" with red caviar ? - No, this summer I'm going to fly to Naples. 4. Is Linda still staying in the bank ? -No, she has just come back. 5. Do you often go for holiday ? - No, I haven't been going for 5 years.6. What a horrible weather ! It has been raining cats and dogs all the day ! It looks it won't ever stop. 7. My grandparents have their marriage anniversary today. They have been married for 50 years. It's incredible ! They have got 4 children, 7 grandchildren, and even 3 grand-grandchildren. 8. Oh, no! I have lost my passport again ! -You have lost it fifth time. You have been constantly loosing something. And don't ask me: " Have you eventually seen my passport, Darling?" 9. Do you like Paris? -Oh, it's the most wonderful city which I have ever visited. And why I haven't come here before?
