Hi, Maggie! I'm so glad to hear from you! Thank you very much for your letter! You asked me about our weather. Well, it is still very cold here and though it is already spring, there are no flowers and the trees are not green as it is very cold. How is the weather in your city? School here is as boring as you described. Tests, tests all the time. But I try to get good marks anyway as I want to pass my exams well. Sure, I have to work hard but I hope it;ll help me in my future. So I completely agree with your parents that you should work harder. And not only with the subjects you like but with all the rest as well.Sorry for my short letter, but I really have to go now. I have some extra classes and my teachers are waiting for me. Write back as soon as you can, I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Hope it'll get better with your studies. Love Igor.
Hi, Alex. I am very glad to hear from you again. I would like to tell you about my holiday that is really magical. Great weather, warm sea and a lot of sightseeing make me happy. This summeer we went to Anapa. It is a very beautiful sea city, full of sun, warmth and joy. The nature is very beautiful. Several times I saw the dolphins very close. It was an unforgettable sight! We stayed at the hotel “Malaya Bukhta". The hotel room was very cozy and bright. We were smimming. diving and bathing all days long. In the evenings there were a lot of various cultural and sports events. We played volleyball, table tennis and football, danced and had fun. We had very good neighbors. There was a large family and I was really glad that they had a boy of my age. We made friends. It’s all for me for today. Write back. Best regards to your family and friends. Yours, Nick
