I want to invite you to my city of Voronezh. Now we have autumn and the climate is changeable. It's hot then it's very cold. In summer it is almost always sunny and very hot, a good time to go to the river. I would like you to come here in summer or in winter. They are the most beautiful seasons in our country. We could travel together through the city, I would show you many interesting things. In winter we could play in the snow and make snowmen. We'd have a great time.
Come soon. With best wishes, Alina

I invite you to visit my native village Kundravy. In our village there is a museum dedicated to the film director S. A. Gerasimov, who was born in our village. There is also a monument and a church in our village. My favourite place is lake Kundravy. The weather in our area is very diverse. In summer, we swim in the lake, walk to the neighboring villages, play various games, and in winter you can enjoy tea and a warm blanket. And you can play snowballs, go skiing and skating in the fresh air. We have fun!
With best wishes,
Jora
