Dear Tina,
Thanks for your last letter. It was great to hear from you. In your letter you asked
me about my attitude to soaps. Well, I agree that soaps don’t show life realistically
because their plots are rather unbelievable and all emotions are exaggerated. As for
me, I prefer whodunits, which keep me in suspense till the very end. I usually
watch films at home but I never miss a chance to go to the cinema with friends. It’s
much more exciting to watch films together.
Anyway, write back and tell me more about yourself and your family. How is
your sister? Has she passed her driving test? What about your mother? Has she got
over the flu?
Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Love,
Kate

Dear Tom,

I'm sorry I couldn't reply straightaway. I was busy with my schoolwork.

I'm only 16 and I can't help relying on my parents now, but most of my friends and
I dream to be independent. As soon as I leave school, I'll go to university. If I find
a part-time job, I'm ready to leave my family and start living on my own. Of
course, it's hard financially to rent a house or an apartment in Russia, especially if
you are a student and don't have much money, but I'm prepared for this.

Well, I'm happy to hear you've finally fulfilled your dream – a trip to Scotland!
How long were you there? What places did you visit? Did you try on a kilt?

Oh, I have to go now. Mum wants me to do some shopping for her.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Andrey
