Sample answer

Dear Emma,

Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear from you. When I have free time, I like to relax and watch TV or read a book. I like playing computer games, too. I have got a few hobbies. I collect coins and posters from different countries. I have got more than fifty posters and I've got about a hundred different coins! I also play tennis. I see my friends at the weekends. We usually go to the cinema on Saturdays and we often meet in cafes on Sundays to talk about our lives. My family and I often go to visit my relatives in the summer holidays, because they live in a town near the sea. It's a long way from my town, so we only go once a year. What about you? Write soon and tell me what you do in your free time.

Love,...

Sample answer

Dear Alex,

Thank you for your letter. I love hearing your news. My new school is really great. There are lots of pupils there and I don't know many people yet, but I have made a few new friends. I sit next to a girf called Mandy, and she is very nice. I hope we will become good friends. My teachers are very friendly and helpful. I think they are very good teachers because they are patient and don't mind explaining things to us when we don't understand. My favourite lesson is music because the school has lots of instruments which we can play. I like playing the piano, but I am not very good at it! I've joined the school music club so I can have more practice! I go to music club every Tuesday after school.

Write again soon and tell me your news.

Dear Anna,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. I had a wonderful holiday. I went to Spain with my family and we stayed there for two weeks. The hotel we stayed in was very big and very new. It was in a busy seaside resort where there were lots of restaurants and cafes. We spent all day on the beach and we ate out every night. It was great fun. There were lots of other people staying in the resort, so I made a few new friends. I met a girl who lives near my town, and we are going to meet in a cafe next weekend. Her name is Maria, and she is very nice. I hope you had a nice holiday, too. Write soon and tell me all about it.

Dear Ben,

Thanks for your letter. It was good to hear all your news. You're right, my birthday is on June 25th, so I will be celebrating soon! Last year, I had a party at my house. I invited all my friends and we had a great time. We danced and ate delicious food. It was wonderful. This year, I want to do something different to celebrate my birthday. I think I will invite my friends to a restaurant. We can all have a meal together. I love Italian food, so I think I will choose a pizza restaurant. I really want a new bike for my birthday. My bike is very old, and it's very slow. Last year, my parents bought me a pair of rollerblades. I love them! I go rollerblading every weekend.

Write again soon!

Sample answer

Dear Katie,

Hi! How are things with you? You asked me about how I keep fit. Well I do several things to stay in shape. The main thing I do is walk everywhere. Walking is very good exercise, and I suppose I walk about two miles every day. Of course, I get a lot of exercise with my dog, too. I take him to the park every day and we run around together. Having a dog is my favourite way to keep fit because I have fun while I exercise. There are plenty of facilities for keeping fit in my town. There's a sports centre and a gym. I hate going to the gym. I think it's really boring, and I don't like exercising indoors. What about you? Write soon and tell me how you keep fit.

Thanks for your letter. My home town is in the south of Russia. It is quite a small town and only about ten thousand people live there. The town has three schools, a station and lots of shops.

My town isn 't very busy. It's a quiet place, so it's nice and relaxing. I like to go to the park with my friends at the weekend. We walk and talk, and then we usually go to a cafe for a drink and a snack. I hope you will visit my town one day. Write soon.

Sample answer

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for your letter. I love hearing your news. I usually wear casual clothes like jeans and T-shirts with trainers. I like to be comfortable. If I am going to a party, I wear trousers and a shirt, but I am happier in more sporty clothes. I buy my clothes in sports shops and department stores, but I don 't go shopping very often. I really don 't like shopping. I think it is very boring, so I only go shopping when I really need new clothes to wear. The last thing I bought was a denim jacket. I love it, and I wear it every day. It's really cool! What about you? Do you prefer smart clothes or casual clothes? Write soon.

Yours,
