Dear Mary,
Thanks a lot for your last letter.
Sorry for not being in touch for so long.
Oh, I'm so happy I joined the
school literature club! I'm just keen on reading, but unfortunately it's hard
to find peers, who share my interest. Literature Club not only gives me an
opportunity to find new friends, but also helps me find new amazing books and
improve my orator's skills, because we always discuss various works and
problems, standing there. Besides, we choose a book, which every member of the
club should read, and then share our thoughts about it. It lets us see
different points of view and perception. As you see, there’s nothing, you can
help me with, but thanks for your willingness. Concerning my favorite writer, I
don’t think I’ve already found him. Maybe, it’s because of having no time for
reading at the moment. So, I’m still searching for one. And who is your
favorite writer? Favorite genre? I’d like to know, what are you reading now?
Love,
Rina.

Dear Jane,
Thanks a lot for your last letter.
Sorry for not being in touch for so long. My congratulations on your
achievement!
Well, in Russia not so many women
drive cars. Maybe, it’s because of some prejudices. However, I’d like to get a
driving license, when I grow up. As for long-distance travelling, I’m sure,
it’s better to use other means of transport. A plane or a train, for example.
It’s more comfortable and less tiresome. I’m fond of travelling and really like
it. But unfortunately I rarely have such an opportunity.
So, you’ve mentioned your sister.
How old is she? What’s her name? Do you get along with each other? I hope, you
do.
Oops. it seems, I have to go. Write
back soon!
Love,
Rina.

Dear Andrea,
I was glad to receive your letter.
Sorry, I haven’t answered earlier.
Poor you! It’s so boring to stay at
home, especially when you’re ill. I had to stay in bed last autumn, because of
my having been operated. Of course, it seems a good chance to get a rest from
school at first, but after a few days you just can’t imagine how slowly the
time pass. Books helped me. Start reading and time will run much faster.
Besides, you can watch films or even serials. As for missing your school work,
you may learn subjects by yourself during you illness and when you return to
the lessons you’ll catch up everything easier.
By the way, what did you dad do on
TV? How has he managed «a fear of stage»? I’d like to know, was he an
interviewer or interviewed?
Sorry, now I have to go. Get better
and be in touch!
Love,
Rina.

Teens is the happiest time of your
life.
Period of teens plays a great role
in everybody’s life. And it’s believed this time is the happiest of your life.
Is it really so?
I fully agree with the statement.
Firstly, teenage years is the time of no problems and pure carelessness. You
shouldn’t worry about financial problems or something like that, you just enjoy
your life. Secondly, you have a lot of free time for various hobbies, which
help you find yourself, and friends.
Meanwhile a lot of my friends
support a contrary point of view. Initially, teens is the time of quite
difficult choices and serious decisions. You have to make up your mind what to
do in the future, what profession to choose. Besides, lots of teenagers face
the problem of misunderstanding and social difficulties like treating by peers
or endless quarrels with parents.
However I disagree with these
opinion. Being a teenager I have so many positive moments and emotions: best
friends, warm relationship with my parents and their great support and of
course an incredible sense of first love.
To sum up I’d like to say though I
respect the opinion of my friends I believe that our teens is the best time of
our life. And I’m going to enjoy it as much as possible!
Nowadays a lot of school-leavers
prefer to take a gap year before going to university.
Getting a good education is very
important for everybody. But many young people aren’t sure university is what
they really need after leaving school. I support this opinion and will try to
prove it.
I fully agree with the statement.
To begin with, choosing your future career is very complicated and serious. The
majority of school-leavers are not ready to make such an important decision.
Firstly, they should get some life experience and understand themselves. That’s
why a lot of young people take a so-called «gap year». During this year they
travel and work, learning new places and independent life. Moreover, it’s
helpful to get some rest and gather new energy for university.
Meanwhile my parents stick to the
contrary point of view. Initially, you lose the whole year and it can badly
affect your knowledge. So your chances to enter a university reduce. Your mind
needs practice and after a year of doing nothing it becomes difficult to come
back to studying. Besides, getting older your aims change. Some day you’ll
decide to create a family and then getting a high education will be more
complicated.
However I don’t support this point
of view. I think it’s better to mull over thoroughly such an important step in
your life and it can’t be done until you sorted yourself.
In conclusion I’d like to say
though I respect the contrary opinion I believe that going to university right
after leaving school is not obvious and necessary.
Good relationships with other
people is the most significant in achieving happiness.
Happiness is an aim of everybody’s
life in this to that way. Some people feel our relationships with other people
are more important in achieving this goal. Is it really so?
Personally I absolutely agree with
the statement. Firstly, all of us need communication and without it we just
can’t be happy. Every person should have somebody to share his interests and
thoughts with, not to feel alone. Secondly, theres is no riches, which can
replace love and support of the family and friends. Imagine someone, who is
really rich, but totally alone. Do you think he is happy? I don’t.
Meanwhile there is the contrary
point of view, that some material values are much more meaningful. Of course,
if you’re poverty-stricken you won’t discuss values of good relationship or
something like that. In such a critical situation people prefer wealth than
friends. Besides, there are such people, who think that everything can be
bought with money even respect and friendship. Maybe, it’s really so. But will
these friends be real ones?
So, I don’t support the opposite
opinion. Because for me it’s much more significant, when I can relay on
somebody and trust him than having a big purse full of money.
In conclusion I’d like to say
though I respect the contrary opinion I still believe good relationships play
the main tole in becoming happy.
