Dear Susie,

Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you did well at your GCSE exams!

In your letter you asked me about eating habits in Russia. Well, we’ve got lots of traditional dishes, for example, studen (jellied chopped pieces of pork or veal meat) or pelmeny (meat-filled dumplings). My favourite dish is pancakes with caviar but I also eat them with honey or sour cream. In Russia, we have three main meals a day: breakfast in the morning, dinner at midday and supper in the evening. We also like to drink tea with lemon in the afternoon.

Anyway, I’m not quite sure about dieting. What kind of diet have you chosen? How long are you going to be on a diet? Will you eat meat?

Well, I’ve got to go now. Hope to hear from you soon!

Love,

Vera

Dear Sheryl,

It was great to hear from you! I’m really glad you passed your History test.

You asked me about hobbies which are popular with Russian teens. Well, many teenagers are interested in music and

playing computer games. Others are into collecting or doing sports. As for me, my hobby is cooking. I collect traditional Russian recipes and cook these dishes. However, I feel I don’t have enough time for my hobby as I’ve got too much homework. If I had more free time, I’d take up photography. It’s really exciting.

Anyway, it’s great that school is over. What are you going to do in summer? Will you stay with your grandparents? Would you like to visit other countries?

Well, I’d better go now. I’ve got to get ready for my piano class. Wish me luck!

Take care,

Alina

Task 22.

Dear David,

Thanks for your letter. Sorry for not having written earlier but I was too busy at school.

You asked me about a typical Russian teenager. Well, Russian teenagers are in fact very ordinary. They think their teachers make them work too hard and friendship is the most important thing in their lives.

Teens always invent new hobbies and the most popular leisure activity nowadays is playing computer games. Most teenagers are fond of sports and are crazy about modern music. Parents think that modern teens are awful but I think they are criticised for no reason.

Anyway, it’s great that you like skateboarding. It’s an exciting sport. How long have you been doing it? Do you know any tricks? Have you got any other hobbies?

I’ve got to go now. Take care and keep in touch!

Yours,

Andrew
