Dear Jackie,
Thanks for your last letter!
On the topic of holidays in Russia, I can tell you that Christmas is not as popular in Russia as it is in Britain. Instead, we celebrate New Year's Eve more fervently here.
Is it true that you celebrate Christmas on December 25th? Here we celebrate it on the January 7th. It is traditionally celebrated by religious believers, whereas I heard that in Britain people of all faiths and even atheists celebrate Christmas too. Am I right?
My favourite holiday is New Year's Eve, as we put up a fir tree and have a big meal on this day and meet up with friends or relatives.
Other holidays we celebrate include Women's Day, Men's Day and Victory Day. We also celebrate the start of Spring for one whole week and we call this time 'Maslenitsa'. What do you call the day when you celebrate the beginning of lent by making pancakes?
Write back soon,
Sasha

A lot of people
want to learn English. I believe that learning English can be easy and
interesting.
First of
all, you can start watching movies or cartoons in English. It’s fun but it
really helps to understand fluent English
Secondly,
it’s very good to learn new words from the context. For example, reading books
can help to learn lots of new words and phrases so it’ll be easier to
understand English.
Finally,
you need to speak with people from English-speaking countries. It’ll help you
to become fluent in English and it’s very exciting to learn more about other
cultures
<span>In conclusion,
I want to say that English is a very fascinating language and if you’ll
practise it a lot, you’ll become more broad-minded. Learning English is worth
trying!</span>
