| Subject: Coming to Russia |
| Hi Beth, Thanks for your email. It’s great to hear from you. This time I’m writing to tell you about my family. I can’t wait to see you here in Russia. Don’t worry. I’m sure, you’ll love our family. My father's name is Alexander and my mother's name is Anna. My dad is forty-two and my mum is under forty. My dad is a doctor and my mum works at the bank. She is an accountant. They are loving and caring. And they are rather modern. We listen to the same kind of music. My parents met each other at the rock concert! They try to be in good shape. My dad goes to the gym twice a week. In winter they enjoy skiing and skating. I love them both very much. I have a horrible little brother and no sisters. His name is Danya. He is twelve years younger than me. Of course, I love him too, but sometimes he can be really annoying. He is always arguing and taking my things. He loves playing football and he is fond of computer games. We've also got a pet dog called Oscar. Do you like dogs? He's short and black and very friendly. My responsibility is to take him for a walk. Well, that’s all for now. I hope to hear from you soon. I’m really looking forward to seeing you! Best wishes Marina |
