You have received a letter from your english-speaking pen friend, andrew. …we have lots of optional courses at school, like a sculpture class or a drama class and others. i wish i had more time for this kind of activity! but i spend so much time on my main subjects that i have no time for anything
else… …what school subject do you find the most difficult, why? how much time do you need to do your homework? how do you spend your free time? … write him a letter and answer his 3 questions. write 100–120 words.

dear andrew,  

hi! thank you for your letter. i have also many subjects at school, but i think that maths is the most difficult subject. it is a subject that requires pupils to be attentive, patient and scrupulous. maths is an abstract subject. you must always analyze tasks and learn
a lot of symbols, degrees and formulas. it is so boring. i don't like this subject at all. my teacher says that maths is the queen of science. in general, i spend 2-3 hours for my homework. it depends! as i am fond of music, i play the guitar during my free time. sometimes i go to the cinema or
café with my friends. what is about you?

best wishes,

alex

There are many wonderful cities in the world that i’d like to see. however, my long time dream is to visit the british capital. in my opinion, london is one of the most diverse and interesting cities on our planet. i have a to-do list for this place, which consists of six important points. first of all i’d like to see piccadilly circus. they say it is especially picturesque in the evenings, thanks to the bright neon signs. it has become a tradition to make a date next to the fountain of eros which is situated in the center of the square. the second object i want to see is the london eye. it’s one of the largest and most innovative ferries wheels in the world. if i’m lucky and the weather is fine i can see many of london sights from the top of it. the third place that i want to visit is the wax museum of madame tussaud. it’s a legendary place where you can see a great number of celebrity wax figures. the fourth attraction that i’d like to see in london is the natural history museum, especially its dinosaurs gallery. the fifth thing i want to do in london is to spend a day in a youth hostel. they say the atmosphere in such youth places is great. i hope to meet lots of international students there and to make new friends. the sixth point on my list is the boat trip on the river thames. i’m sure the city views during this trip will be fantastic. in other words, london is my passion. i’d be very happy if my dream came true.
