Hi, there!
How are you? Thanks a lot for your last letter. It's nice to hear all your news. Now, I'd like to tell you about new classmate. His name is Taemin, he is from South Korea. I think, he is clever, acitv and supportive boy. But now I'm not sure, because I don't know him well. I know just a few thing. He like to singing and dancing as well. So.. Later, I will describe him better. What about you, have you got any new classmate? Write me as soon as you can.
Best wishes!
Yours truly,
Daniel
Как ты за твое последнее письмо. Приятно узнавать все твои новости. Сейчас я хотел(а) бы рассказать тебе о новом однокласснике. Его зовут Тэмин, он с Южной Кореи. Я думаю, он умный, активный и готовый в чем угодно мальчик. Но сейчас я не знаю, потому что не знакома с ним так хорошо. Я знаю только немного. Он любит петь, так же сильно как и танцевать. Так что... Позже, я опишу его лучше. Что по-поводу тебя, есть ли у тебя новый олноклассник? Напиши мне так быстро, как ты можешь (или как можно скорей).
