hello jack,

i'm sorry i haven't written you for a long time and thank you for writing first. 

you wrote that your exams would start soon and probably, you want me to help you.

lets start one after another. firstly, i want to answer all the quastions you are interested in. 

every year we take written and oral english exam and as all russia at the end of the ninth and the eleventh forms we take sse and gia (точно не знаю, может быть sfa).

i don't like them very much as i spend for preparing too much time and nerves and then it appears that it wasn't so terrible.

but it's useless to cope with stress before the exam, you'll be nervous till the moment you set to work. and don't eat anything by no means, only a bar of chocolate and water or juice.

by the way, i send my greetings on john's coming birthday.

where will he celebrate it? how many people will come? did he invite you?

i'm sorry i have to go now. 

can't wait to hearing from you.

with love,

                                      nick
