Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you again. I’m proud that you do a big favor for your family, helping your parents with household chores. Unfortunately, I can’t brag about a long list of family responsibilities, which I do. I usually do easy tasks such as washing the dishes and bringing things. As for shopping, we always go to the mall together at the weekends. It’s the greatest way to spend time with family and enjoy shopping. Besides this, when we have some free time, we go to a café at the center of Rostov, where we spend our time with joy and fun!

Long time ago, there lived a farmer in a village. He had a big garden with an old apple tree.  

The farmer did not want to have the apple tree because it was old and there were no apples.

But the apple tree was a home for some birds and insects. "Don't touch the apple tree, please", they asked the farmer.

The farmer was sad. When he was a boy he liked climbing the tree and the bees gave him honey.

The farmer said, "The tree's old and there're no apples. But it's a home for my friends. I can't touch it."
