Nearly two thousand years ago, in 79 ad, a volcano called vesuvius erupted on the west coast of italy, south of naples. it was one o’clock on 24th august. in the busy roman port of pompeii, people were walking about in the streets, families were preparing lunch and children were playing. suddenly vesuvius erupted. there was a loud explosion. there was dust and ash everywhere. people rushed into the streets screaming. children ran to their parents crying. people tried to run away, taking their things with them. they tried to escape, but most of people and animals died. vesuvius has erupted many times. the last big eruption was in 1944. will vesuvius erupt again? nobody knows. if it does, it might be a small eruption or a big one. some people live close to vesuvius because the soil around it is good for growing crops. but it is also very dangerous.

thanks for your letter. it was great to hear from you.

in your letter you ask me about education and exams. i think education has a huge role in our lives. it gives us new knowledge and determines the future path in life. i am in the 9th grade and i already know what to dedicate my life to — i want to be a pilot. this is a difficult profession, but it doesn't scare me. this profession requires a good knowledge of physics and mathematics. guess what i will take on exams? of course physics!

well, i'd better go now as i have to do my homework. hope to hear from you soon.

all the best,

\your name\
