Subject: Technological progress
…My mom often complains
that we spend too much time on using smartphones. She decided that now we have
to stay half a day without our mobiles and other gadgets, and I totally agree
with her! What do you think about being far away from technical progress and
simply reading books, thinking and relaxing in peace and silence? Are modern
technologies always helpful? What gadgets do you constantly use and why?
Yesterday I started reading a book about nature…

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your
message. I couldn't write you any earlier, I'm sorry about that.
It’s great that
you have already chosen your future job! As for me, I’m not as sure as you are.
I also like foreign languages, different cultures and I enjoy travelling, but I
don’t think that translation or being a professor is something for me. I’d like
to choose a job which would give me a possibility of travelling, meeting new
people, communicate with them in a foreign language, because that’s what I’m
interested in and what, I guess I could do successfully.
Anyway, you've
mentioned travelling. Have you already decided when you are going to have your
trip? What countries would you like to visit? Do you want to take your parents
with you?
I've got to go as
my friend is asking me for help.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Kate
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for your
message. I'm sorry for not writing you for so long. I was busy preparing for
exams.
Maybe your mum has
a point, think about it. Right now I’m collecting various match boxes with
matches of different colours and sizes. At the moment my collection counts 50 different
kinds. I think that collecting is fascinating. My pocket money I usually spend
on cafes because I like spending time after classes drinking coffee and reading
a book. My parents are a bit against it, because they don’t understand how it
is possible to spend that much money on coffee.
Anyway, it's great
that you entered courses. What courses have you chosen? How much time do you
spend on them? Do you like the tutors there?
I've got to go as
my friend is asking me for help.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Olga
