1.1 Victor Writes to His American Girlfriend.
Orlov Victor
Flat 7,16 Kama's Street,
Perm, Russia.
Dear Julia,
Thank you very much indeed for your letter and photo. You are a very nice girl. You see that you are my first American pen - friend and I'm glad to know that you are o'k and enjoying your life.
My name is Victor Orlov. Do you see on the photo a tall, grey-eyed boy in a blue shirt? It's me. Another boy is my groupmate. In your letter you ask me to tell you about myself. With pleasure.
I was born in 1978. My native place is Volgograd, it's in the South of Russia. I'm 19. Now I live in Perm. Perm is an old, big and green city. It is situated on the Kama-river in Ural. I live in a flat with my parents. Though our flat is not very large I have my own room. But I'm not the only child in the family. I have a sister. Katya is younger than me, she is a schoolgirl. So, there are 4 of us: my father, my mother, my sister and me. I'm like my mother more. Both my parents are geologists. They often talk about their job and can discuss any problem. But it's not their only interest. All my family go in for sports. My sister is a good runner, I prefer football and swimming. When winter comes we usually go to ski out of town. The Ural mountains are a beautiful place for skiing. Certainly, I'm interested in some other things, for example, music, photo. And what about you? What's your hobby? I'm sure that you are a very interesting person.
Last year I finished school and entered the University in Perm. So, I'm a first-year student of Physics Faculty. I'd like to be a radiophysicist and naturally to be an educated man. In any way, I'm sure I have many opportunities to become an independent person, but now I'm only the beginner. Frankly speaking, my new students' life gives me much pleasure. And you? Can you tell me about your studies in college? I wonder how you are getting on? What are your plans for the future?

Hoping to hear from you soon.

V. Orlov.
