Dear Nancy,

Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry I couldn't answer you earlier, I had to prepare for an exam.

I feel sad for your awful summer, it must be very annoying. My last summer was mostly cold and rainy, but I'm almost fine with it since it was not the first time that happened. On rainy days I tend to visit my friends or invite them to my home. There's always a way to have fun, you know. That is the reason I like summer the most of all seasons, by the way: rainy or not, it is still a lot of continious free time.

It's great to hear you love your history class. What topics do you focus on? How often do you have the class? How long will it go on?

I'm sorry, but I have to leave now, it's time for me to walk my dog.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Vitaliy
