Dear Donna,
I`m writing to you from the Beach Hotel. I`m here with my parents and my cousin Joe. We are having a great time here. The hotel isn`t new but very nice. All the bedrooms have got their own bathrooms.
The place is very nice. The sea is warm. We go to the beach every day. I usually learn to water-ski and Joe goes windsurfing . But he doesn`t do it very well. He often falls into the water.
Today it is raining .I hate this weather because we can`t go out. At the moment my mother and father are having lunch, Joe is writing invitations. We`ll have a little party for our new friends in the evening.
See you soon.
Love,
Kate

Why do We Learn English?

People began to speak many centuries ago, and since then they have been speaking different languages. Every language reflects the soul, behaviour and temperament of each nationality. Peoples created their own alphabets and rules, but they always wanted to communicate with each other, to understand and to know more about each other.

Languages help people to understand each other better, they help them to solve different economic and political problems, which stands before them, and so people learn foreign languages.

All languages are different. Some are very hard, some are easier, some are similar, but there are no identical languages in the whole world.
