Moscow Russia

17 November

Dear Steve,
Thank you for your recent letter. I'm awfully sorry for not writing to you earlier, I had so many tasks at school that I had very little free time.
You've written that you are also busy doing a project at school. I've always thought it might be interesting to know about reading habits of people all over the world.
You ask what books my family and I like reading. In general, Russian people are a reading nation and so we are. To be honest, I'm not reading much this year as I'm preparing for the final exams, but mostly I choose fantasy books. My mother enjoys reading detective stories while my father prefers
I'm so glad for your sister. Pass my congratulations to her, please. Is her husband British? What does he do? Where do they live?

Write back soon.

Best wishes,

Boris
