Dear Mary , (Greeting)
Thanks for your letter. (Opening remarks)
First of all, I hope you will be very happy in your new house. I look forward to hearing all about it. (благодарность+ссылка на будущие контакты)
В своем письме ты спрашивал меня … (ответы на вопросы+ слова связки)In your letter you asked me about… My home town is in the South of Russia. It is quite a small town and about ten thousand people live there. The town has three schools, a station and different kinds of shops. There are lots of things to do in my town. You can go to the swimming pool or the cinema, or you can walk in the beautiful park in the centre of the town. There are also several cafes and restaurants.
I’d better finish here because my mum is calling me to come and help her. Come and visit me soon. Мне пора идти. Напиши мне (надежда на будущие контакты)
Best wishes,
Lena
