dear dave,

thank you for your letter. sorry, i haven’t written for so long. i was really busy with my exams.

yes, i have been on package tours many times. package tours are very common in russia. russian tourists usually go to turkey, egypt and spain. as for my plans for holidays, my family are going to italy for two weeks. we are going to have a rest and do some shopping. my dream holiday is to travel to india. i think that there are a lot of places of interest and this country is very beautiful.

i have to finish my letter because i have promised my mum to wash up.

write back soon.

lots of love,

jane.  источник:  

In the future, a lot of things will change good or bad. the world for sure is going to be a very polluted place as people will keep on using coal and oil for power. maybe people will finally get over their differences and establish world peace. i sincerely hope that our scientific progress is not going to stop, as we already went extremely far, if we look back at the 90's. i think that people might finally go to space and start settling there in places like mars. the future can turn out in a lot of ways good or bad, so all of us need to step up and change!
