Dear Ben,

It's nice to hear from you. I’m sure you’ll pass your exams successfully.

In Russia we have different number of exams each year. In my grade we have two. The obligatory one is math (oh, I should prepare so hard to pass it successfully) and the other each student can chose by himself. I have chosen English because I have a pretty strong sense of language and I prefer oral exams, because I hate tests. Plus, the regular practice with you, as an English-speaking pen friend helps me a lot. Thanks! As a preparation for my exams I usually read and reread all the past material in my notebook and try to remember it. And it works!

Let me know, when you pass the exams.

Best wishes,

Emma
