Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. How are you keeping? I hope you are fine.
As for me, I live in a small town. Each person in our town knows another. People in our town are very friendly and talkative. So I enjoy to live here.
There are not so many places of entertainment in our town. Usually my spare time I spend walking with my friends or going to a park. It is impossible to accurately predict the weather in Russia in a year, but usually we have 20-25 degrees in June and July.
Sorry, I have got to go now. It is time for my favourite TV show.
Yours,
