Відповідь:
Існує досить забавне уявлення про перли, нібито перлини утворюються через те, що в молюск випадково потрапляє піщинка. Насправді це красива казка, яку придумали продавці перлів, пофарбувавши не надто приємну дійсність романтичним флером. Ми з Вами милуємося красою перлів, навіть і не підозрюючи, що найдивовижніша перлина є лише прекрасним саркофагом для черв'ячка, який служить елементарним самозахистом мідії. Перли починають з'являтися, коли всередину мідії крізь стулки проникає маленький черв'ячок з метою поїсти м'яса устриці. Борючись із загрозою, мідія починає ізолювати агресора і покриває його шарами перламутру, утворюючи при цьому перли, причому цей процес є для молюска міні-проектом до кінця життя.

I've got some good news: my sister has just got a place at university...

Dear Ryan,
Thanks a lot for your letter. I should apologize for not writing earlier as I was really busy with my school.
In your letter, you asked me about the weather in my country. Well, in Russia, weather is rather unpredictable. The worst kind of the weather I’ve experienced was the storm wind and heavy hail. Frankly speaking, we only close windows to prepare for a really bad storm. I suppose the south of Russia has the best weather.
I’d like you to tell me more about your sister’s university place. How has she got it? Has she got it for free or paid anything? What university has she got the place in?
Unfortunately, I have to finish my letter. Loads of homework.
Write soon!
Love,
Ann
