Here you have a letter from your pen friend Michael from the USA. Write him back, answer his questions about Russia and tell him as much as you know about your home country.
Hello, friend!
How are you? I hope you are fine.
I miss you very much!
Next month my family and I are going to Russia. I will be pleased if you tell me a little bit about your country. Do many people live there? What Russian cities are the best for us to visit? What attractions are there to see?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers,
Michael
