Dear Ben,
Thank you for your letter. I'm glad to get your letter again. I am very glad that you started to learn the Japanese language. I think it's very interesting. I'm sure you will succeed. What are your favorite Japanese cartoons?
At school we study English and I like it a lot. I sometimes read books in English and watch foreign films. I would like to become a teacher of English. As for the second language, of course, I would like to learn French. I love this country, I would like to learn their culture and to travel there.
( As they say, 'To see Paris and to die.' Have you heard this saying? )
What countries would you like to go to and why?
Sorry, I have to go help mum around the house. This weekend we plan to have a picnic.
Best wishes,
Nastya
