Dear Jane,
Thanks for your letter. Sorry I haven't answered earlier, but I was busy with my studies.I wish you success in your new hobby.In your letter you asked me about sports. Nowadays sport is very popular in Russia. Football and basketball are the most popular among boys in our country. Girls prefer to play volleyball. I like playing volleyball too because I like to be a part of a team.I adore to watch different sport events not only on TV. Last week my friends and I went to the city stadium to watch some football matches between local schools. It was fascinating. Anyway, I've got to go now.
Email back soon.
Best wishes,
Paulina
