Dear Sheila,

Thanks for your letter. I am really glad to get it from you!

In your letter you asked me about the idea of a perfect weekend. As for me, the perfect weekend must be very dynamic. We sit through our lessons the all week. I think it is one of the reasons why we should have the movable weekend. Usually, I go dancing in my free time after school. Moreover, dancing is my hobby. That is the really great news you are going on vacation. Have a nice holiday! I advise you to read my favorite writer Oscar Wilde. I really love his books. By the way, what about you? Who is your favorite writer? Do you like detectives or novels? How often do you read any books?

I am looking forward to your answer.

Best wishes,
Maria

Читать любимого писателя? Не очень удачная фраза, имхо. Попробуйте - I advise you to read something from my favorite writer Oscar Wilde.

Thank you for your letter! It was great to hear from you. Sorry, I have not answered earlier because I really busy with my History project.
In your letter you asked me about my idea of perfect body. Well, I usually go to a park with my friends after school. We make a picnic and see old films. In my opinion, the most enjoyable weekend which you spend with your family or with your friends.
By the way, let me ask you some questions about your reading habbits. What is your favourite autor? Have you ever read a russian poets? How much time do you ussually spent for reading?

Dear Sheila,
Thank you for your last letter! I was glad to hear from you. Sorry for not answering for so long I was busy preparing for exams in school.

You asked me about my idea of perfect weekend. As for me, weekend when I can spend time with my family doing any activity all together is a truly joyful weekend. If to talk about my free time, I am fond of Korean culture and I used to watch Korean dramas during it. By the way, my hobby is to take photos, make funny videos and upload it in youtube.
You have mentioned that you can not decide what book to read. Well, what kind of literature do you like to read? What do you prefer book or E-book? What book would you recommend to me?
Drop me a letter
Love,
Christina

Dear Sheila,
Thanks for your letter, sorry I couldn't answer you earlier.
So many people in the world, so many various points of view! Personally, I usually prefer to go to any places where I can get new impressions. For instance, I visited the Museum of Photography last week. That was great! I've known a huge amount of interesting facts. So, it was a perfect weekend for me. I really often go somewhere with my friends after school. My camera's always with me, I can take photos of my mates and our city's showplaces. You can guess that my hobby is photography!
As I see, you like books. Me too! What genre of literature is your favorite? Who's the best writer in your opinion? Can you name the most interesting book you've ever read?
Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Ann

Dear Sheila ,

Thanks for your letter! It was great to hear from you! Sorry, I haven't written because I was so busy with my exams.

You’ve asked me about my perfect weekends. Well, as for me, the best way to spend the weekends is engage in volunteering because I really like to help people, who is in difficult life situations, or animals in a shelter. In my spare time I like to read some useful books, or meet with my friends. My hobby is painting, because I can express all my feelings, drawing some stuff around me.

By the way, where do you want to spend your vacation? What kind of books do you prefer? How do you choose the book you want to read usually?

With love,
Lena
