Nelson was a British naval commander and national hero, famous for his naval victories against the French during the Napoleonic Wars. Born on 29 September 1758 in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, Horatio Nelson was the sixth of the 11 children of a clergyman. He joined the navy when he turned 12. He became a captain at 20, and worked in the West Indies, Baltic and Canada. He married Frances Nisbet in 1787 in Nevis, and returned to England for the next five years on half-pay. When Britain entered the French Revolutionary Wars in 1793, he served in the Mediterranean, helped capture Corsica. In 1797 in the only one battle that he lost, he lost his right arm. As a commander he was known for bold action (bravery), and disregard of his seniors (which only helped the deal, because Nelson's desitions were wiser). Soon, Nelson was promoted to vice-admiral. Under his leadership, the Royal Navy proved its supremacy over the French. His most famous engagement, at Cape Trafalgar, saved Britain from threat of Napoleon, but was killed here by a French sniper a few hours later. He died on the 21th of October in 1805.

                    Dear Dima,
                    I’ve just received your letter! I was waiting for it so long! Thank you for not forgetting to write to me. I'm always very glad to get your letters.
                     Dima, dear friend, you ask me so many questions in your letter, and I’m eager to share all the news with you! You ask how I’m doing. Now everything is as usual, I'm still going to school, but this summer I’m going to have exams. Sometimes I even manage to have some free time! When it’s so, I go to the gym or do handicrafts. My last work was the kitchen boards in the technique of decoupage. This is so exciting! But that's not all! Not so long ago we went to the Museum of Entertaining Science. It was a fascinating trip into the mysterious world of physics! It was magnificent! I learned many new interesting things. You ask how we are going to spend this summer. Well, now in my head there's a whole bunch of ideas! I’m eager to tell you about everything. I hope very much that we’ll meet,indeed! I would like to invite you to go on a fabulous trip through our great powerful country. Have you travelled to St. Petersburg or to Pskov? If not, then let's go there! But you can go on a fascinating trip around the «Golden Ring of Russia» as well. And, if we have time and forces, let's take a trip to some exotic country, for example, Argentina or Mexico. If we go to Argentina, you are sure to enjoy the dishes of the national cuisine, and, of course, we’ll attend the classes where we’ll learn how to dance the most famous tango – the Argentine Tango! This dance is very encouraging, so it is beautiful! Really, a great amount of passion and fire! Besides all this, we’ll get acquainted with the national culture and admire the scenery of the wonderful countryside. We’ll come back full of bright and enchanting experiences and stories.
                       Now let me also ask you some questions.  How is your studying abroad? Do you like to be in Spain? When will you able to come to see us? What about your parents? Give them my best wishes.
                      I was really very glad to receive your letter; you are sincerely interested in my life! Every time our letters give me more hope that I’m not alone! Looking forward to your answer and to seeing you soon!
                  Yours,
                  Eugenia
