Dear Joanna, I'm sorry to hear that you (not/be) well recently. I hope you're feeling better now. As you know, I (not/exercise) for the last few months and of course, I (put) on some weight. Anyway, I (decide) that I really want to lose weight and get fit at the same time, so I (join) the new gym in Greenstone Park. It's got excellent facilities! I (be) there several times and I really enjoy it. I (make) some new friends there, too! What else? Well, Rebecca and I (study) really hard for the last two weeks because we have a Maths exam tomorrow. That's all for now. (you/think) about where you want to go on holiday this summer? Maybe we can go together! Best wishes, Paula

Моё отношение к литературе заключается в трёх словах: «Литература – это моё всё!». Литература в моей жизни, как и в жизни любого человека, занимает огромное место. Это мнение основано на жизненном опыте. Литература учит нас видеть, воспринимать и анализировать окружающий мир. Она учит нас правильно формулировать свои мысли. Не имея достаточного словарного запаса, человек будет подобен Эллочке-Людоедке из «12 стульев» Ильфа и Петрова. Отсюда следует, что литература даёт самое большое богатство – лингвистический багаж, благодаря которому мы можем общаться красиво, правильно и грамотно…
Можно очень-очень долго описывать всё положительное значение литературы в жизни человека. Одним словом, все её грани делают человека лучше.
