Task 21. This is part of a letter from Sheryl, your English- speaking pen-friend.

. My friend and I are planning to start a new hobby but we haven’t decided yet what hobby to choose. Do you have

any hobbies? Do you feel you have enough time for your hobbies? What hobbies are popular with teenagers in

Russia? Are there any hobbies you’d like to take up?

As for my school exams, they are almost over and I’m looking forward to my summer break.

Write back to Sheryl.

 answer her questions

 ask 3 questions about her plans for the summer

13 Shirokaya Street

It was great to hear from you! I’m really glad you passed your History test.

You asked me about hobbies which are popular with Russian teens. Well, many teenagers are interested in

music and playing computer games. Others are into collecting or doing sports. As for me, my hobby is cooking. I

collect traditional Russian recipes and cook these dishes. However, I feel I don’t have enough time for my hobby as

I’ve got too much homework. If I had more free time, I’d take up photography. It’s really exciting.

Anyway, it’s great that school is over. What are you going to do in summer? Will you stay with your

grandparents? Would you like to visit other countries?

Well, I’d better go now. I’ve got to get ready for my piano class. Wish me luck!

Task 22. You have received a letter from your English- speaking pen friend David who writes

. At school we are doing projects on teenagers in different countries. What is your idea of a typical Russian

teenager? You will help me a lot if you could tell me about Russian teenagers. What do they enjoy? What are their

most popular leisure activities?

Anyway, the weather is fine today and I’m going to try my new skateboard.

Write a letter to David.

 tell him about Russian teenagers

 ask 3 questions about his hobbies

13 Primakova Street

Thanks for your letter. Sorry for not having written earlier but I was too busy at school.

You asked me about a typical Russian teenager. Well, Russian teenagers are in fact very ordinary. They think

their teachers make them work too hard and friendship is the most important thing in their lives.

Teens always invent new hobbies and the most popular leisure activity nowadays is playing computer games.

Most teenagers are fond of sports and are crazy about modern music. Parents think that modern teens are awful

but I think they are criticised for no reason.

Anyway, it’s great that you like skateboarding. It’s an exciting sport. How long have you been doing it? Do you

know any tricks? Have you got any other hobbies?

I’ve got to go now. Take care and keep in touch!

Task 23. You have received a letter from your English- speaking pen-friend Sam who writes

. At school we are doing projects on the greatest capitals of the world. I’ve decided to write about Moscow.

Could you tell me about your city? What is special about your capital?

As for the family news, my sister got married last week…

Write a letter to Sam.

 tell him about Moscow

 ask 3 questions about his school

5 Otradnaya Street

Thanks for your letter! It was great to hear from you so soon!

You asked me to tell you about Moscow. Well, it is a very beautiful city especially in autumn when all trees

are of different colours. The heart of Moscow is the Kremlin. It’s an ancient fortress with beautiful churches inside.

Moscow is a unique city, where history and modern life are brought together. On the one hand, you can

enjoy traditional Russian festivals such as Maslenitsa. On the other hand, Moscow is a modern 24-hour city where

you can visit different theatres, cinemas and exhibitions.

By the way, will you tell me about your school and school life? Do you have any clubs at school? Are you given

Please write back. I look forward to your reply.

Task 24. This is part of a letter from Jill, your English-speaking pen-friend.

. Thanks for inviting me to stay with you when I visit your country next month.

I’m not sure how to get to your apartment from the airport. Could you write back giving me some basic

instructions? What would be the best way of transport for me? I’d prefer one that isn’t too expensive!

Just one other thing — what will the weather be like when I get there? (Just so I’ll know what clothes to pack!).

Write back to Jill.

 answer her questions

 ask 3 questions about her plans

28 Festivalnaya Street

Thanks for your letter. I’m looking forward to your arrival!

It won’t be difficult for you to get to my place. Just take an express bus to «Rechnoy Vokzal” metro station.

When you get off, turn right and go down Festivalnaya Street. My block of flats is about five minutes’ walk. I think

it’s the easiest and the cheapest way.

As for the weather, it’s quite nice at the moment and the forecast is fine. I think it will be hot and sunny so

take a swimming costume. By the way, what sights would you like to visit? What would you prefer to do in the

evenings? I can buy tickets to the Bolshoi Theatre. Would you like to go?

Anyway, I’m sure we’ll have a wonderful time together. Can’t wait to see you!

Task 25. You have received a letter from your English- speaking pen-friend who writes

It’s a really brave step to take a year out of college to come and spend 6 months in the UK! What are you

planning to do with your time? Find a job? Learn some new skills? Write back and give me more details of your

plans so I can do my best to help you have a good time.

I’ve got to go now! It’s time for my favourite TV show. Keep in touch! Lots of love,

13 Osipenko Street

It was great to get your letter. Thanks a lot for offering your help.

As for my trip to the UK, I’m planning to study at a language school and take the FCE exam. I’m going to enter

Oxford University so I have to speak fluent English. I hope you can advise me a good school for preparation. It

would be great if it was not far from your place so that we could spend time together.

Oh, and another thing! I’d like to find a part-time job to pay for my expenses.

By the way, what TV shows do you enjoy? Are they funny or educational? Do you watch soaps? Actually, I do

but not often. Just to relax.

I’d better go now as I’ve got loads of homework. Hope to hear from you soon!

Task 1. You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Mary who writes

. It was great to hear that you went to Italy during your spring holidays. I have always wanted to visit this wonderful country. Did you enjoy your journey? What places of interest did you visit? What impressed you most of all? Did you like your hotel?

As for me, I am awfully tired because we’ve got too many tests at school. Can’t wait for the summer break.

Write a letter to Mary.

 tell her about your journey to Italy

 ask 3 questions about her plans for the summer

Thanks a lot for your letter. I hope you passed all your tests!

First of all, let me tell you about my one-week package holiday to Rome. Everything was OK, but we didn’t like

our hotel. It was too noisy and the food was awful. We even had a stomachache and consulted a doctor. However,

all the excursions were extremely interesting. We visited the Vatican and were impressed by the famous St. Peter’s

Cathedral. I also enjoyed the Colosseum and other sights of Rome. All in all, we enjoyed our holiday.

And what about you? What are your plans for the summer? Will you come to visit us? Russia is a unique

country and I’ll show you lots of interesting things. If you make up your mind, let me know what cities you would

Hope to hear from you soon.

Task 2. This is part of a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend.

. Do you often have arguments with your parents? I do. My mother thinks that I spend too much time hanging around with my friends. Do you often meet your friends?

What do you usually do together? And what do you do when you disagree with your parents about how you spend your free time?

Write back soon.

Write back to Ann.

 answer her questions

 ask 3 questions about her relations with her younger sister

10 Lenina Street

Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you passed your History test!

I’m sorry you don’t get on well with your parents. As for me, I have practically no problems with mine,

although we do quarrel sometimes because I spend too much time playing computer games. In this case I try to

talk to them and find the way out. Unfortunately, I can meet my friends only at weekends and we usually play

football together. It’s our favourite game.

And how do you get on with your sister? Do you play together? Do you help her with her homework? I wish I

had a sister or a brother!

Anyway, keep smiling whatever happens! I’d better go now as I’ve got loads of homework to do (as always).

Write back soon!

Task 3. You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend who writes

. We moved to a new house a few weeks ago and I changed school. At first I was a bit afraid but I made new friends sooner than I expected. The teachers are nice and everything seems to be working out well. And what about you? Have you made any friends in your new school? Do you enjoy studying there? Have you got any new subjects this year?

I’ve got to go now! It’s time for my music lesson. Drop me a line when you can.

Write a letter to Emily.

 answer her questions and tell her about your new school

 ask 3 questions about her preferences in music

3 Spartakovskaya Street

Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear about your new house!

As for my new school, it’s very big! It has three computer rooms and wonderful sports facilities. Actually, it

seems a nice place and I enjoy studying there. The kids in my class are very friendly. I’ve already made some new

friends and we often meet after classes. I’ve got only one new subject this year. It’s Economics and I’m beginning

to think that it’s not difficult, after all!

By the way, what music styles do you enjoy? Have you got any favourite bands? Would you like to go to their

concert? As for me, I prefer Radiohead. They are cool!

I’d better go now. Mum wants me to help with the housework. Take care and stay in touch!

Task 4. This is part of a letter from Harry, your English pen-friend.

. I’m fine but I’ve got a very busy week ahead. I’m a member of the school team and we are preparing for an important match in the National Championship. Are you fond of football? Do you watch football matches on TV? What other sports do you enjoy?

Well, I’d better go now. I’ve got to do some more training — I don’t want to lose this match.

Take care and write back soon.

Write back to Harry.

 answer his questions

 ask 3 questions about his preparation for the match

8 Palekhskaya Street

Hi! How’s it going? Thanks for your last letter. I’m glad you are in your school football team now!

In your letter you asked me about football. Well, I’m really fond of it. It’s a great game and I’m always happy

when my team wins. But I don’t watch football matches on TV because it’s rather boring. I prefer playing to

watching as it’s more exciting. I’m also keen on roller-skating. It’s fun to take part in street competitions and to

perform different tricks.

Anyway, what about your preparation for the National Championship? Do you work hard? How many times a

week do you train? Do you get on well with your team-mates?

Well, I’d better go now as I have to tidy up my room. Write back soon!

Task 5. You have received a letter from your English- speaking pen-friend George who writes

. At school we are doing projects on famous singers from different countries. Could you telI me about any famous Russian singer? What is he or she famous for? How long has he/she been singing? Do you enjoy his/her songs? Have you ever been to his/her concerts?

As for my school trip to London last week, it was really wonderful.

Write a letter to George.

 tell him about the singer you admire most of all

 ask 3 questions about his trip to London

135 Bashilovskaya Street

Thanks a lot for your letter. Sounds like you had a great time in London! What impressed you most of all? Did

you take any pictures? Were you tired?

I’m glad I can help you with your project on famous singers. Well, my favourite singer is Dima Bilan. He made

his debut at the festival ‘New Wave’ in 2002 so he has already been singing for 10 years. Now Dima is a famous

pop singer known for his songs like ‘Never Let You Go’ and ‘Believe’. I enjoy his songs because of his beautiful

voice. Unfortunately, I’ve never been to his concerts but I’d love to.

Anyway, let me know if you have any other questions. I’d better go now as I have to take my dog for a walk.

She asks what my plans for the summer
