Dear Eren,
Hi! How's it going? Sorry I haven't written for ages, I was busy.
So, are you really going on a bus tour around your country tomorrow? That's amazing! I hope, you'll make nice photos. By the way, I like bus tour excursions, too. I can relax in the bus and listen to music.
If you want to visit my country, you should do it in summer, because there's cold weather. My country is big , so there are a lot of sightseeings. You should visit museums in the centre of Moscow or Red Square. As for me, I prefer coastal resorts. My favourite coastal resort is located in Sochi. This city is located in the south of Russia. I'm sure, you won't get bored here.
That's all for now. I'm looking forward to visit your country. Don't forget to take some pictures, will you? Drop me a line, please.
Bye,
Jean
Нет », - сказал призрак. «Я никогда не ем и не сплю, но вы очень добры. Вы не похожи на остальных членов вашей грубой, нечестной семьи». «Моя семья не грубая или нечестная!» воскликнула Вирджиния. «Вы нечестны! Я знаю, что вы взяли все краски из моей коробки, чтобы сделать пятно в библиотеке! Вы взяли все красные, затем все фиолетовые, а когда они все исчезли, вы использовали зеленый цвет!» "Ну, что я мог сделать?" спросил призрак. «В наши дни так трудно получить настоящую кровь». Затем призрак заплакал , не сердитесь на меня, я так несчастен», - сказал он. «Я хочу спать, но не могу, и я так устал». "Чем я могу вам?" - спросила Вирджиния. «Единственное место, где я могу спуститься, - это Сад Смерти», - сказал призрак. «Ты можешь мне добраться туда. Ты милый и добрый. Ты можешь попросить Ангела Смерти позволить мне спать вечно». «Я не боюсь, - сказала Вирджиния. "Позвольте мне вам." Призрак взял Вирджинию за руки. Внезапно стена превратилась в большую черную дыру. Дыра закрылась вокруг Вирджинии и призрака, и комната была пуста.
