Пример письма Moscow Russia 27/10/2015 Dear Adam, Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. Sorry for haven’t written to you for so long but I was busy all this time. I agree with you that Maths is rather difficult so I think it’s necessary to learn rules and to do some exercises. As for me, Science is the most difficult for me. You asked me what I do to improve my English, I have English course in my school twice a week. We have a lot of grammar practice. We read a lot of interesting articles and discuss them in little groups. Do you have English course in your school? As well I am going to study Spanish. I need it for my future profession. Would you like to study Spanish? Have you thought about your future job? Anyway, I have to go now as I’m helping my Dad in the shop. Hope to hear from you soon. All the best, Kerstin
