Dear Peter, 

How are you? Recently, I saw a new movies called Beauty and the Beast. It was a beautiful movie.
The main actress , named Bella, was a daughter of an inventor in the village. Her father got into the Beast's castle. In order for him to be free, she had to live in the castle forever with the Beast. The Beast used to be a prince but a fairy turned him into a Beast. In the end of the story, Bella saved the Beast and he turned back to being human. 
I really enjoyed the movie and the songs they sang. The costumes were really amazing. I do not want to spoiler it for you, so I would recommend it for you to watch. Have you seen this movie? If yes, then write back to me as I want to know your opinion.

Yours,
HappilyEverAfter05. 

My Favourite Animal I like all kinds of animals and I think that people should treat them better. I’m against any violence towards animals. Speaking about domestic animals, I have several pets at home. It’s my parrot Kesha, my cat Liza and my dog Bobby. Of course, I like all them, since I’ve had them from childhood. However, my favourite animal is dog. I simply adore dogs of various breeds. Mine is a French Bulldog of a black colour with rare white spots. It’s not tall but is fat. It has a funny face with big ears and almost no tail. Bobby is a wonderful dog and a faithful friend. I think it also likes us, because it often shows deep affection. When necessary, Bobby can become rather protective and scare the enemies away. The distinctive feature of this breed is its stubborn nature, so it’s not easy to train such dogs. They require lots of patience and repetition. In my opinion, the dogs’ role in human society is invaluable. Apart from being a good friend, they have always performed the role of a hunter, a herder, a protector, a military or police companion and most importantly a guide for the handicapped people. Some dogs are so intelligent that they are trained to look for criminals or victims of natural disasters. They can easily sniff out explosives or drugs, so the police often consider them to be the best helpers. I was surprised to know that when a police dog dies, it receives a full funeral. Sometimes, when dealing with unpleasant and traitorous people, I think that they should learn a lot from dogs. These animals never betray their friends. They can easily maintain lifelong relations, unlike many humans.
