| St. Petersburg Russia 8 June 2010 Dear Sheryl, It was great to hear from you! Im really glad your exams are nearly over! Sorry I havent been in touch for so long. You asked me about hobbies that are popular with Russian teens. Well, many teens are interested in music and playing computer games. Others are into collecting or doing sports. As for me, my hobby is cooking. I collect traditional Russian recipes and cook these dishes. I feel I dont have enough time for my hobby as Ive got too much homework. If I had more free time, Id take up photography. Its really exciting. Anyway, its great that school is over. What are you going to do in summer? Will you stay with your grandparents? Would you like to visit other countries? Well, Id better go now. Ive got to get ready for my piano class. All the best, Alina (145 words) |
