Hi Emmie! We didn't see you long ago, and it upsets me. I moved to the new house, and already sorted all the things. We live here well: house big and cozy, beautiful dining room and fine drawing room. As we moved to the house more, I had an own room. I very much am glad to it.Emmie, whether all at you as it should be? How there a garden which your grandmother looked after? I shortly am going to visit you, and then we properly will have fun! And before, try not to despond and always to stay in good mood! To a meeting, your Catty//

My grandmother used to live next to her school, so it didn't take her long to get there. All her classmates lived close to the school and it was cool. Their classroom was tiny and used to be airless because there were twenty five pupils in it. Pupils didn't usually make noise because firm discipline was kept. My grandmother's favourite subjects were Russian and Literature. She enjoyed writing compositions and novels. She wore uniform made by her mother. A dark dress and a white apron made her uniform. There was a bakery next to her school where she and her classmates used to go to buy freshly baked bread.
