Test «Informal letter»

TASK 1.

Read this informal letter from Richard and divide it into paragraphs. Remember the organisation and the rules of letter writing.

15 Sovetskaya Street Kazinka Russia 21/11/2014 Dear Sheila, Thanks a lot for your letter. I am sorry I could not reply straightaway. I was busy with my schoolwork. Well, I am only 16 and I can not help relying on my parents now, but most of my friends and I dream to be independent. As soon as I leave school, I will go to university. If I find a part-time job, I'm ready to leave my family and start living on my own. Of course, it's hard financially to rent a house or an apartment in Russia, especially if you are a student and don't have much money, but I am prepared for this. Well, I'm happy to hear you've finally fulfilled your dream - a trip to Scotland! How long were you there? What places did you visit? Did you try on a kilt? Oh, I have to go now. Mum wants me to do some shopping for her. Hope to hear from you soon. All my love, Martin

D - In your letter you asked me about hobbies which are popular with Russian teenagers. Well, many teenagers are interested in playing computer games. As for me, my hobby is doing sport. However, I feel I don't have enough time for it as I've got too much homework. If I had more free time I'd take up photography. It's really exciting.

E - Marina

F - Love,

G - Please write back. I look forward to your reply.
