Wednesday is a perfect day for me. I have only five lessons on this day, so I come home quite early, at about 2 o’clock. I love Wednesdays because I go with my best friend to a volleyball section at the local sports club. We are fond of playing volleyball. We arrive at the club at ten minutes to 3, put on our special uniform and start warming up. Our trainer is a professional volleyball player. He says that I’m good at volleyball. We play with other boys and girls for an hour and a half and then go home. I come home absolutely tired but happy.

Hi John,
I hope you are doing fine. Have you got any news to tell me? You asked me some question and I would like to answer them now. You asked for my opinion about being independent of my parents. I think one can hardly be independent when he or she is under 18. We don't have necessary skills and knowledge to live separately from our parents. Renting a room or a flat can also cost a lot and only our parents can pay for us. What about you? When do you plan to start living separately from your parents? As to leaving parents as soon I finish school, I think I could do it. If I enter a good university with good accomodation, living without my parents would be no problem. Though I think I would miss my home, especially during the first months. Many Russian students who study abroad miss their homes in the beginning. It is not easy to get used to another country and the language. And it can take a lot of time to understand traditions and customs of the new country. Have you ever studied abroad? Do you think you could live far from your home for a long time? OK, so much for today. Write soon.
Best wishes,
Mike.
