<span>Dear Oleg,
I was very glad to hear from you again. Sorry, I haven't written for ages
because of my school activities.
In your letter you ask me to tell you about one member of my family. With a pleasure. </span>
<span>First of all I
want to tell you that my mother's name is Irina and she is 37. Her height is
nearly 164 cm. But she'd like to be a bit taller. Well, she is not slim but she is not fat either. </span><span>My
mother has a round face as everyone has, a bit long nose and big cheerful
grey eyes. Her skin is a bit pale but she likes this fact, she doesn't like
ruddy faces. She has no freckles
as my friend Nina has. Her forehead is open. I think my mother has a charming
smile. </span>
Her hair isn't
very short but it's not long either. It is straight and black. She
has rich hair.
I think that she
looks like her father.
She is a doctor in the hospital.
She is very kind and freindly and I love her very much.
<span>
Tell me a few words about you and your new school and friend. Have you joined
any sport club? Do you like your new teachers?</span><span><span>That's for me today. I have to go.
Best regards to your family.
</span><span>Write soon.
Andrey</span></span>
