young people can protect the environment by cleaning up trash, separating waste, saving water, and convincing my friends to do the same. I am absolutely sure that ecological problems should be discussed at school because schoolchildren should understand how to eliminate those threats to their future lives.

      From: Ben_mail

      To: Russian_friend_oge

      Subject: Music

      …Frankly, I don’t understand why some people like classical music. I adore rock and usually listen to it on my way home from school. If my favourite band comes to our town, I’ll definitely go to their concert.

      …What kind of music do you like? Do you think it is necessary to have music lessons at school, why? What musical instrument would you like to play?…

      Dear Ben,

      Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.

      You asked me a few questions about music, and I would like to answer them now. It might seem unusual, but I like classical music. You know my parents are musicians. I am sure it’s necessary to have music lessons at school. They help us feel and realise harmony and beauty of sounds. Honestly speaking, I would like to play piano or guitar. I hope I will learn to play them after leaving my school, when I have more time to do that.

      …Last week I went to the theatre. It was a great performance and the actors were wonderful. I was impressed.

      …Do you think it’s exciting to be a famous actor and why? When did you last see a theatrical performance? Have you ever been to the Bolshoi Theatre?…

      Dear Ben,

      Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.

      You asked me a few questions about art, and I would like to answer them now. I’m not sure, to be honest, that being a famous actor is exciting. It’s always a lot of stress, emotional tension, gossip, rivalry, and envy. No, nothing of the kind. You know I saw a theatrical performance last year. It was a Christmas show. I have to admit that I have never been to the Bolshoi Theatre yet. It’s a shame, but I hope I’ll visit it one day as I grow older.

      Excuse me, I have to finish my email now.

      Subject: Museum

      …I’ve just returned from our local museum. I was surprised that a visit to a museum could be so enjoyable.

      …Do you find visiting museums interesting and why? What museum would you like to set up, if any? What do you enjoy doing in your free time?…

      Dear Ben,

      Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.

      You asked me a few questions about museums, and I would like to answer them now. Honestly speaking, I don’t find visiting museums interesting at all. They look quite boring to me. We waste hours to get there and have a look at the things, which are available on the Internet. You know I have no idea of what museum I would like to set up because my attitude to museums is negative. As far as my free time concerned, I enjoy spending it on computer games or going shopping.

      Excuse me, I have to finish my email now.

      …Oh, my friend is so charming! Everybody in the class is ready to help her. But, you know, I sometimes think she’s just using people to get what she wants.

      …What kind of person is your best friend? When and where did you meet? How do you spend time together?…

      Dear Ben,

      Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.

      You asked me a few questions about my best friend, and I would like to answer them now. Honestly speaking, my best friend is a kind of supportive and caring person. I can rely on him completely. As far as I remember, we have been friends since our childhood. We met in the kindergarten first. You know we have a lot in common, so we usually hang out in the shopping centres, do window shopping, play computer games, do our homework, and enjoy watching movies. We are hand in glove together.

      Excuse me, I have to finish my email now.

      Write back soon.

      Best wishes,

      Igor
