Dear Ben,

Tnaks a lot for your letter. Sorry that I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school. I'm glad youre OK.

The most popular hobbies with Russian teenagers are playing video games and watching films. I would like to try myself at making soap. I think, it will be very interesting and useful. Honestly speaking, I have not too much free time now because of exams but when I have it I usually read books and take photos.

Acually, I'd better go now: my mom asked me to help her with our dinner. Take care and keep in touch.

Best wishes,

Sasha.
