Dear Sasha,

Thank you for your letter! Sorry for haven’t written to you for so long but I was busy all this time.

Well, I am very glad that you have passed all the exams! Congratulations! I am very happy for you! I guess, you should relax your body and mind after exams. And the best way to do it is to go for a walk! You know, my favourite sports are baseball and swimming, but your mum gave you a good piece of advice! Basketball is a good choice for you! As well, all teens in Russia prefer hockey and football. But everybody can choose something else…

Sorry, I must finish now, because I have to revise for my tomorrow exam. Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,

Sergey
