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.
Higher education is a great privilege. In my opinion students must pay for it if their school marks are not very good as they enter universities. If they finish school with very good marks, they must study further free of charge. Both good and bad students must be given a chance of free education (which means that the state pays for them) if they greatly improve their marks during examinations at universities. Also it is the state that must pay for education if there are few people who want to learn unprestigious professions. And vice-versa, if there are too many people who want to learn popular professions, those with worse marks after school must pay.
