Dear Lisa,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to receive it.
As for my attitude to travel, yes, I like it and often travel in Russia. If I could choose where to go I would like to go to abroad, for me very interesting would be travelling to Japan or Venice. I usually prefer to travel with my friends or parents.
What about your drama class? Do you like this idea to stage or comedy? What would you prefer to stage If you could choose? How long are you at the this class?
I am sorry I am having got to go help my Mum.
Write me soon.
My best wishes,
Alena.

Dear Сlaudia,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to receive it.
As for my English, I have studied it since childhood. It was sometime when I didn’t like study it, but now I like study it very much. I like read books or some report in the internet and sometimes watch English’s films. I think that the best way of learning English it is think and live with some English things, for example any books, films and cards with English words.
What about your studing? Do you prefer the most English books or films? Why are you solving to improve your English now?  What do you like in English?
I am sorry I am having got to go help my Mum.
Write me soon.
My best wishes,
Alena.

In today's world, many people became adult quickly. Some children have a difficult childhood. Some children want to accomplish a lot of in life quicker. Some children have other reasons. However, many people think that a person may begin his life alone, already in eighteenth year old. Additionally, some people think something other.
In my opinion, eighteenth year it is early for start living on their own. First of all, child reach the age of eighteenth, cannot provide for himself, normal home and its payment. Besides, maybe, if his parents or somebody else helped him, child would be habit to it and would not understand life. Secondly, many children do not prepare to life alone.
On the other hand, some people think that eighteenth year, it is a normal age for beginning a independent life, however, I think that it is normal only for children with a difficult past. I think, that eighteenth year it is else child and any person needs for help and support his parents and close people. Additionally, many children cannot care about themselves and if they lived alone, they would not care about meal.
In conclusion, I think that children should not hurry with leaving their home and they should go away then they will be prepared.

However, some traditions at different country, or at every family, exist today's. This traditions always differ, for example - every country or little town, have some customs, which only their. Additionally, every family has something that like or doing, only they. This traditions sometimes differ, sometimes comply with other.
Often, every country has a few own festivals and holidays. For example, in Russia people celebrate 9th of May, Woman's and Man's days, New Year, and a lot of over. In Great Britain people celebrate 14th of February, Christmas, Saint Patrick's Day, Halloween and other. Additionally, some foreign holidays celebrate at some family. For example, at our family, we like Halloween very much.
Except holidays, traditions may be remain how style of live. At some country, it may be a going to church at Sunday, family's dinner, annual sacrifice and other. For example, there remains now a drinking of tea at five o'clock, and Christmas's dinner, at Great Britain. Adiitinally it is a dye of eggs on Easter, interesting wedding's celebrating and other, at Russia.
