Dear Tom,
Thanks for writing to me! I'm always glad to read your messages.
You asked me some questions. Well, I'm going to answer them. Honestly, we think that not relying on parents is a bit difficult. Independent living requires to be responsible. Frankly speaking, I'm not ready to leave my family immediately after finishing school Certainly, I'll miss my parents. As far as I think, it is easy to rent a house or an apartment for students in Russia, especially in big cities.
By the way I want to ask you about your trip to Scotland. What places did you visit? How long was your trip? Did you travel on your own?
I have to go now. It's time for doing my homework. Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Nastia

Dear Richard,
Thanks for writing to me! I'm always glad to read your messages.
You asked me some questions. I'm going to answer them. Personally, I like to hang out with friends in my free time. It's really fantastic! Usually I go to restaurants and parks with my friends on the weekend. I'm interested in reading history novels and watching films. Besides, playing chess is my hobby.
By the way, I want to ask you about your friend's visit. How old is your friend? What do you usually do together? Will you spend time outside?
I have to go now. It's time for doing my homework. Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Nastia
Эссе-проект, задание 38.
The project I am currently working on is aimed at establishing how people keep fit in Zetland. As part of my work, I have found a pie chart with some data. I am going to give my opinion on the subject of the project.
According to the pie chart, answering the question "How do people keep fit in Zetland?" the minority of the surveyed choose the option "Changing sleeping schedule" (11%), which is followed by the response "Becoming a vegetarian" (15%). The most common response is "Doing yoga"(42%).
As can be seen from the pie chart, the figure for the response "Doing yoga" (42%) is 27% higher than " Becoming a vegetarian" (15%). It can be explained by the fact that many respondents think that yoga makes great influence on physical and mental health. In the same time, vegetarian diets are not recommended for some people, especially for children who need to eat meat products.
Analysing the topic, I have outlined a problem that one can face keeping fit. It can worth much time and money. For example, yoga classes can be expensive and rather long. The best way of solving it is to plan one's day schedule and budget.
In conclusion, I believe that keeping fit is vitally important for everyone. It can help to be healthy and self-satisfied.
...In Great Britain young people want to become independent from their parents as soon as possible. Could you tell me
what you and your friends think about not relying on your parents? Are you ready to leave your family immediately after you finish school? Is it easy to rent a house or an apartment for students in Russia?
As for the latest news, I have just returned from a trip to Scotland...

A friend of mine is coming to see me this weekend...
