dear \name\,
thanks for your letter. it was great to hear from you.
in your letter you ask me about education and exams. i think education has a huge role in our lives. it gives us new knowledge and determines the future path in life. i am in the 9th grade and i already know what to dedicate my life to — i want to be a pilot. this is a difficult profession, but it doesn't scare me. this profession requires a good knowledge of physics and mathematics. guess what i will take on exams? of course physics!
well, i'd better go now as i have to do my homework. hope to hear from you soon.
all the best,
\your name\

Dear Jackie,
Thanks for your letter. It's nice to hear from you. Sorry, l haven't written for so long, because l've been busy preparing for my exams. How was your holiday?
Anyway, I want to answer your questions. We celebrate the New Year in Russia. We usually celebrate the New Year with relatives and friends. I like celebrating the New Year, but my favorite holiday is the Spring and Work Day. On that day, I and my family are having a picnic and playing active games.
Sorry, l have to go now, because l've promised my sister to help her with her homework.
Love,
