Hi John, I hope you are doing fine. Have you got any news to tell me? You asked me some question and I would like to answer them now. You asked for my opinion about being independent of my parents. I think one can hardly be independent when he or she is under 18. We don't have necessary skills and knowledge to live separately from our parents. Renting a room or a flat can also cost a lot and only our parents can pay for us. What about you? When do you plan to start living separately from your parents? As to leaving parents as soon I finish school, I think I could do it. If I enter a good university with good accomodation, living without my parents would be no problem. Though I think I would miss my home, especially during the first months. Many Russian students who study abroad miss their homes in the beginning. It is not easy to get used to another country and the language. And it can take a lot of time to understand traditions and customs of the new country. Have you ever studied abroad? Do you think you could live far from your home for a long time? OK, so much for today. Write soon. Best wishes, Mike.
My favourite TV programme. It is called "Fear factor". This is an American sports stunt reality show. The host is Joe Rogan. In the beginning of each programme Joe says: "The stunts you are about to see were all designed and supervised by trained professionals. They are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime". And this is true!! The normal format involves three men and three women, who have to complete three professional stunts to win US $ 50,000. If a contestant is too scared to attempt a stunt, failed to complete a stunt, or had the worst performance on a stunt, he\she is eliminated from the competition. Sometimes the stunts are really scary. For example, one has to jump from one biulding to the other and the height is over 50 meters. The player with the best performance wins the grand prize, usually $ 50,000, and had the privilege of being informed by Joe Rogan that "evidently, fear is not a factor for you". As for me, I think I could complete some of the stunts. Unfortunatelly, one has to live in the USA to take part in the programme.
