My favorite place in Murmansk are hills they can relax, listen to the birds singing, gather mushrooms and berries, have a picnic. You can climb, to feel like a climber, to make a run... Well, not exactly a run, more likely to fall than running ) If you go deep into the hills, is there any way to see the hare, Fox, and bear is better not to meet... you can still see the squirrels jumping on the branches of trees. In winter it's cold, but you can see traces of wild animals (which I listed earlier) , gnawed the bark of trees (the case of the teeth of a hare, though I doubt it). In the hills in winter,autumn, summer and spring is always a beautiful landscape. Summer in the hills is very beautiful flowers grow. (about the trees lied a little, lol) In the hills many swamps, so you need be more careful and parents. It is certainly possible without them, but maybe that will happen. Despite, the fact that there may be dangerous, I still enjoyed it. This is my favorite place in Murmansk, of course there are many other interesting places, but the hills is my most favorite.

Dear Diana,
Thanks a lot for your letter. It was a real surprise. I was really pleased to hear that everything is all right with you. Sorry I haven't written for so long but I was really busy.
You asked me to tell you about my school life. Well, I started going to school at the age of seven. Now I am in my third year(здесь всё зависит от того, в каком вы классе. В моём варианте указан 3). We have five lessons every day. We have the English language, the Russian language, P.E., Handicraft and Maths. As for me, I study well and never stay at school after lessons. My mother comes and takes me home. And what about you? Do you usually stay at school after lessons? Who do you go home with?
 By the way, right now we are having spring holidays and I am enjoying myself. When do you have holidays? 
Anyway, I have to go now. My friend is waiting for me as we are going to the cinema. Hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of love,
