   Dear Stan,
Thank you for your letteк. It was so great to hear from you. I`m so sorry I haven`t answer you earlier but I was very busy.
  (красная строка) You asked me about getting a pet. Wow, it`s so cool! Of course, you should have pet. I think, you should get a cat, `cause it`s the most quiet animals and they don`t have to be walked. In my opinion, you should get pet from an animal shelter. There`re too many homeless animals there. I take care of my pet. I feed it, clean up after it. 
 ( Красная строка) Well, it`s time to do my homework. Looking forward to your reply.
(красная строка) Best wishes,
(кр. строка)   Derek. 
 

Dear Jackie,

Thanks for your last letter!
On the topic of holidays in Russia, I can tell you that Christmas is not as popular in Russia as it is in Britain. Instead, we celebrate New Year's Eve more fervently here.

Is it true that you celebrate Christmas on December 25th? Here we celebrate it on the January 7th. It is traditionally celebrated by religious believers, whereas I heard that in Britain people of all faiths and even atheists celebrate Christmas too. Am I right?

My favourite holiday is New Year's Eve, as we put up a fir tree and have a big meal on this day and meet up with friends or relatives.

Other holidays we celebrate include Women's Day, Men's Day and Victory Day. We also celebrate the start of Spring for one whole week and we call this time 'Maslenitsa'. What do you call the day when you celebrate the beginning of lent by making pancakes?

Write back soon,
Sasha
