Thanking for the previous letter
Dear Pamela,
Date
Thank you for your letter. It was nice to hear from you again. Sorry for not writing, I was busy with my project.
In your letter you asked me about a person in my family who I admire. I think it is my dad. Unfortunately, he is always busy, but when he has some free time I like to talk with him and discuss different problems. He is very intelligent and smart and that is why I like to spend time with him talking. I admire him because he is rather a positive and optimistic person.
Main body: answering the questions
By the way, what about your new mobile? Is it a new smart phone? Can you use the Internet and different apps now? Do you use it to listen to music?
That’s all for now. I’ve got to go. Write back soon.

Best wishes,

4. Writing a letter Chelyabinsk Russia 30 September 2017 Dear Pamela,
Thank you for your letter. It was nice to hear from you again. Sorry for not writing, I was busy with my project.
In your letter you asked me about books. Well, reading plays an important role in my life. Books are a great source of information and knowledge. I like almost all genres of books. But most of all I love science fiction, novels, detective and horror stories. My favourite book is definitely ‘Heaven has no favourites’ by Remarque. This book teaches us to appreciate every breath we take and every moment we live.
By the way, how do you usually spend your free time? Do you prefer cinema or theatre? What is your favourite film?
Well, I’ve got to go now. I must prepare for my exams.
Take care and keep in touch.
Yours,
Alice
