Dear Marry,
Thank for your letter about your hobby.
In your letter you told me about your favourite kind of sports.
Well, different people like doing different things. I am fond of collecting stamps.
My collection is thematic. My theme is "Cars". My father helps me to collect. He is a good specialist. I am proud of my collection. I am proud of my father too. I can do it very well.
I must help my Mum.
Yours, Ann.
Любовная история от Курт Воннегута
Personally I choose to live in my Motherland. Why? Firstly, Motherland is the place where you were born. Motherland is your second home. Motherland is the place where you spend the best years of your life. Secondly, it is very hard to leave your Motherland because you are still going to miss it – your native city, the street and trees that you used to see out of your window every day… It is your «world». And you, yourself, are part of this world. Thirdly, you have a lot of close people, your parents, relatives and friends in Motherland. They all are always ready to help you and will never leave you in trouble. They will always love you, and in a foreign country you will have to do without them, and you will feel lonely.
