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.
Here come the New year! I'm with friends very much looking forward to this holiday and we to him diligently prepared. Dad brought a big tree and we with the guys her dressing. On top put an angel, branches decorated with garlands and balloons, hanged a lot of tinsel. Under the Christmas tree we put the Grandfather of the Frost and the snow maiden, but the room was decorated with all kinds of snowflakes, garlands and streamers. It turned out very nicely. Adults praised us for our diligence, and promised that Santa Claus is necessary for us to bring gifts. We are eagerly waiting for this moment, and every five minutes to look under the tree. But the gift is not there... We were very sorry and mom, that would distract us, called to drink tea with the cake. Then we played different games and participated in the competitions. It was very fun and we have forgotten that there would come a Grandfather frost. And when it came time to disperse, some of the guys looked under the tree and found a mountain of gifts . Everyone got what wanted. All were very happy. So that's my New Year's!
