Dear Ann,

Thanks for your letter. How are you? I hope all is going well.

As for me, I’m working hard. I want to be an economist and I’m studying a lot of mathematics.

So unfortunately there is no much time for going anywhere.

But your letter made me go to the Tretyakov Picture Gallery. It was founded in the 19 th century

and a lot of pictures by famous Russian artists are exhibited there. It is our national gallery.

You see, your decision to go to a medical school was quite a surprise for me. What made

you choose this field? Is this your father who advised you to go there? How long is the course

of studies in a medical school?

Well, I must finish now – my lessons begin in half an hour.

Love,

Kate
