Write a letter to your pen-friend in which you explain why studying foreign languages is important, tell about the foreign language lessons in your school and about your foreign language teacher, advise him/her how to makethe study of foreign languages easier and more interesting.

Dear Linda,I was glad to get your letter last week. You wrote about tiresome and dull French lessons at your school.I wonder whether I can make you change your mind. First of all, any language is a whole world reflected in words. Different people have different perception of the world.

 This difference is fixed in the language. When you studya foreign language, you can see a new picture of the world and it is interesting. Every day we can see that it is very important to know foreign languages.The Internet and satellite TV enable us to get information from all over theworld. We can get education or a job in any country of the world. But we all know that we have to know the language of the country we want to study or work in. When you know foreign languages you can feel comfortably in foreign countries, people are more hospitable to those who speak their native language.We study two foreign languages at our school English and French. I like my language lessons because they are interesting and I learn a lot about Englishspeaking countries and France. We play different language games, write many essays and learn many poems. Our teacher of English is a true enthusiast. She is young and energetic. It is impossible to be passive during her lessons.If you want to make your study of French easier and more interesting, try tofind your own motivation. You can save money in order to spend a week or to travelling in France, or you can find French pen-friends. Get acquainted with French culture or cuisine and make it your hobby. Being motivated, you will be astonished with the progress in French you make.I wish you success in your study of French.Truly yours,

Oksana

You have got a letter from your pen-friend, in which he/she asked about your travelling preferences. Write a reply and tell that you like to visit other cities and towns, mention your last travel and describe your usual activities during your trips.

 

Dear Laura,Thank you for your warmest greetings. I appreciate greatly your letters and your interest in my life. Finishing school is not an easy task and I am glad that all tests are over and I can enjoy pleasures of my new life. Actually I have already started. Yesterday I spent a day off in Kamyanets-Podilskyy, one of the greatesttourist attractions of Podillya region. You know, I belong to people who prefer totravel to other towns and cities. Every town has its own history that lives in itsstreets, buildings, squares and monuments.When I come to a new town, I try to see as much as possible. First of all, Ibuy a map of the town. It helps me not to lose my way in strange surroundings.After studying the map, I decide what I have to see and what route will be thebest. You can also ask people in the streets to recommend you where to go andwhat to see. Our Ukrainian people are very hospitable to tourists, you know.They will eagerly help you.Where do I usually go? Of course, I go sightseeing. I have already mentioned that history lives in the streets of the town. So, I walk along the streets, watch buildings and monuments, sit on the benches in parks and squares, and observe the life around. Besides, I visit museums and art exhibitions. Sometimes you geta unique chance to visit some very interesting exhibitions you are unable to watch in your own town.Shopping is also a much bigger joy when you are in some other city, not inyour own one. While walking around the down town, you can see different little markets with souvenirs. Sometimes the choice is really rich: national crafts,drawings and paintings, funny postcards or postcards with the views of the city. Iusually buy something to bring it home from my trip.Well, I have written you much about my tourist preferences. Could you write me few words about what kind of rest you like? Do you like travelling? What places do you like to visit? Whom do you travel with? Everything is interestingto me.I will look forward to your letter.

Yours as always,

You can even study the history watching post cards.I got my first greeting card for my birthday when I was one month old. MyGranny signed it for me. At the age of 7 I got interested in collecting post cards.In several years I had hundreds of them! I arranged them into series and keptthem in special albums. I had cards with pictures of different cities and towns,with animals and birds, cars and planes. I had a lot of cards dedicated to different holidays like the Easter, New Year, birthday cards. I loved Christmas cards especially because they were very bright and interesting. My biggest series was made of Christmas cards. The oldest one was printed at the beginning of the twentieth century. There are two children decorating a Christmas tree on it.Frankly speaking, I have not given up my old hobby. I am still a keen collector. But now I collect cards with paintings of famous artists and modern cards with funny wishes. I think that my hobby is very interesting and I hope that your collection isinteresting too. It would be nice to see photos of some items from your collection. Could you send me some? Thank you in advance.

Dear Emily,
I am sorry I haven’t written for such a long time but I was very busy with my exams. How are you? I like your choice to be an actress. And I know that you are very talented and you’ll become a famous actress.

As for my plans I always wanted to be a singer. You know that I love singing. But unfortunately I often have a sore throat, and the doctor said that it was impossible. So I decided to be a teacher of English. I study English and German and this is what I like as much as singing.

To be ready for my future profession, firstly, I listen to English songs and watch English movies. Secondly, I learn words when I’m walking along the street or even cycling. But the most important thing is language practice. I try to speak to native speakers if I have such an opportunity wherever I am.

If I want to be a successful teacher I have to be communicative. Moreover I must love children and love to work with them and, of course, I have to understand children’s behavior.

Hope to hear from you soon. Drop me a line, please. And give my regards to your family.

Best wishes,
Anna

Напівофіційний лист

Listening to the radio programme you heard different people discussing the topic of friendship between teens. You have decided to write a letter to the editor of the programme. In your letter

·         describe what kind of friend you prefer and why

·         say what can cause a friendship to go wrong

·         argue whether it is better to have a wide circle of friends or a few close friends

Write a letter of at least 100 words. Do not use your real name or any other personal information. Start your letter in an appropriate way.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have just listened to your programme about friends and friendships. I’m writing to express support for this serious issue.

I strongly agree with you that friendship is defined in a million ways. Friendship is a relationship that has many dimensions and styles. Friendship has no boundaries and no limits. True friendship is built on trust and mutual support. Your real friend is always there to help you and expects the same from you. He does not judge you for what you do, but instead understands and supports you. I do believe that a true friend is a person who loves you unconditionally and will not try to change you. What is more, you never know when you will meet a friend.

It is no secret that friendships are based on trust, and if that’s betrayed, the whole relationship breaks down. Cheating, revealing your secrets and backstabbing lead to breaking up. Thus, we should admit our failures, practice forbearance and be willing to learn something new. And we’ll avoid breaking up friendships over petty differences.

To be honest, I don’t need a wide circle of friends. I prefer one or two close friends, even though I know many people and have a large number of acquaintances. And I am sure that having a small group of friends gives you a better chance to cultivate deep and meaningful relationships.

To sum up, I have to state that I am in total agreement with those who considered friendship to be a vital part of our life.

Yours faithfully,
Margaret Brown

 Write a letter to your pen-friend in which you tell him/her:

·         whether your parents influence your choice of books to read;

·         what is your favorite literary genre and why;

·         where you usually get books you'd like to read.

Write a letter of at least 100 words. Do not use any personal information

 

Dear friend,

It is sad to hear about your parents’ influence on your reading preferences. If they like classical authors, it does not mean that you must be fond of reading them too. Try to talk and persuade them. They must understand you.

As for me, my parents have never told me what to read or what music to listen to. They always teach me to be independent and make any choice myself.

Speaking about literature I must admit that my favourite genre is fantasy, too. I adore reading about events or places which cannot be seen in real life. Reading fantasy gives me enormous portion of ideas and emotions. It inspires me to be creative.

Although there is one little problem. As usual, I borrow books from our school library, but I have already read almost all of them, and nothing interesting is left there. So, I made up my mind to search for something fresh and exciting in the internet. Unfortunately, reading online turned out to be not so useful for my eyes. They get tired quickly.

Maybe you have got some nice books. I would be grateful to you for those you liked most of all and your reasons why.

I am looking forward to your letter.

Best wishes,

 Ann
