23 March 2008 Dear Jack,
Thanks for your last letter. I’m glad you get on well with your brother.
Well, I agree that it’s difficult to choose our future occupation as there are lots of different jobs. However, I wouldn’t like to follow in my parents’ footsteps as I’m not interested in their profession. I’ve asked my father for advice and he believes I must choose my future career according to my preferences.
As for me, I enjoy travelling and I want to see the world. So I’d rather work in tourism. But I haven’t made the final choice yet.
Have you got any hobbies? What are your favourite leisure activities? Do you enjoy active or passive holidays? Some people turn their hobbies into their careers.
Hope this helps. Drop me a line when you can.
All the best,
PeterTask 27.

Dear Pam,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you!
In your letter you asked me about my household duties. Of course I have to do some chores because my mum’s too busy at work. I think everyone in the family has to do their fair share. Actually, I don’t do much, just go shopping and clean my room. It doesn’t take long so I have enough time to do my homework and to chat with my friends.
Anyway, it was great to hear about your trip to Italy! What city are you going to? How long are you going to stay there? Will you take any exams? Write back and tell me about your holidays.
Well, I’d better go now as I’ve got to take my dog for a walk. It’s also my duty.
Love,
LucyTask 28.

Dear Jenny,
I was happy to hear from you! I’m sure you’ll pass successfully all your exams!
In Russia, we have State Exams in June and it’s rather difficult to prepare for them, too. I started to get ready about a year ago but still have lots of work to do. I usually don’t study at night as I find it useless. I think the best way of revision is to study with your friend. It’s easier for me to remember facts and figures when I talk about them.
Thanks a lot for your invitation. I’ll be glad to visit you in summer. What clothes shall I bring? How much money should I take? Will we be able to travel round Great Britain?
Anyway, I’m sure we’ll have a wonderful time together. Can’t wait to see you!
Write back!
