Dear Andrew,
I'm very sorry about not replying your letter sooner, but I have been extremely busy. It was great to hear you again. Thank you for your very interesting and absorbing letter.
I started learning English in the second grade. In my opinion, it is really difficult language. I have been studying English for several years. I usually improve my English skills. I read books and listen to music in English. I started learning this language because it is important for my future. I think that English language is useful for my future career.
Write again when you have time.
Best wishes,
Твоё имя
\Direct speech, or direct speech, expresses a person's phrase verbatim, it is a quote or transfer of the essence of a phrase said by another person, on their behalf.
As in Russian, direct speech in English is framed by quotation marks, but "upper" quotation marks are used, called English double quotes. Instead of a colon before the author's words at the beginning or a comma and a dash at the end, English uses a single simple comma. The dot at the end of the sentence is placed before the closing quotation mark, not after it, as in Russian.
