I was glad to receive your letter. Sorry i haven't answered so long. i really was busy, because i am in the summer camp now. How are you?
You asked how was it going. Well, i am rather fine. I made a lot of new friends here. We are always together. We go to the river, to the forest and have much fun. In the evening we usually sing songs, play different games.
By the way, where are you now? How are you spending this summer? What is your mood today?
Anyway, have to go now. Write me back as soon as you can.
Love,

Once while working in my garden, I heard a strange sound. At first I didn't pay attention to it, but suddenly I noticed a huge cloud of smoke in the sky. Bewildered, I quickly ran to the other end of the garden and saw that the old gas station was on fire. There was no one around, only large fields and a long automobile road leading to the town of Maysky. Immediately I tried to call the fire brigade, but I couldn't because of a bad connection. There was a tall tree nearby, and after climbing it I was able to call the fire department. A few minutes later, firefighters arrived and put out the fire. After that, the owner thanked me for the courageous act.
