Dear Emma,

Thank you for your letter. I'm happy to recieve it from you! I fully agree with you about summer holidays and I love them as much as you do! You've asked me some questions, so let me answer them.

First of all, I want to say that there are three places where I spend my long summer holidays. When June starts I go to the countryside to my grandparents. I love spending my time in this little village. My grandmother cooks very delicios pies and my grandfather takes me to catch some fish.  I'm having really good time there, because I have many friends there. We go to the lake and swim, bike to the wood, play with the ball and so on. After a month my parents and I travel abroad. We visited many countries, for example we've been in France, Bulgary, German etc. But my favourite country is Turkey, I love swimming and sunbathing very much, so for me, it is better than sightseeing in Europe. And the last month of my summer holidays I spend at home, preparing for new studying year. But it is not bad, because the weather is still very hot and sunny in Russia. It makes me to be in a good mood.

What about you? Tell me more about your summer holidays.

Best wishes,

Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706. He was
the fifteenth of the seventeen children of a poor candlemaker. He went to school only one year. He began to work when he was twelve. At the age of fourteen he decided to be a writer. He copied the great stories of famous writers and later he became the best known writer in his time.
When he was seventeen, he left Boston and
arrived in Philadelphia with only a few pennies in his pocket. He
got a job as a publisher of a newspaper and retired
from business as a very rich man at forty-two. Then he spent the next forty years for his government. He played an important role in the founding of the USA.
Franklin was also an important scientist and inventor. He drew
electricity from a cloud on a kite string. He wrote one of the first text books on electricity. He invited a simple lightning rod and many other practical tools. He made a study of water and discovered many principles of hydrodynamics. He even invented bifocal glasses when he was seventy-eight and needed them himself.
Franklin did all these things and many more because he believed he could.
