Dear Mum and Dad I am writing you a letter as you asked me to. I can't believe I am staying in Paris for three weeks. Everything is so amazing! People are so kind here, they help me a lot, as I don't know French. My host family is so friendly! This family isn't very big: mother, father and two adorable sisters - Marie and Lucie They were asked me a lot about Russia and our life style. Last week I saw The Eiffel Tower and I loved it! Oh my God, it is so beautiful. I took a lot of photos but they can't capture this beauty. Also I visited Louvre. You know, this was my dream to be here. I still can't believe I was in this magical place. Marie, Lucie and I are going to Notre Dame. I can't wait to see it! As you can see, I am very happy to be in France and I so thankful to you that you let me go there. Sending lots of love! Yours,...

Dear parents! Sorry for not having written for so long but I was really busy. I live well, don't worry about me. St. Petersburg  is a very beautiful city. There are a lot of interesting places. While my living there I have visited a lot of sights. For example, last week I visited the Hermitage. It’s a huge museum, which is situated in the building of Winter Palace. This Palace was built during the reign of Peter. Now there is a great collection of paintings and works of art. This building is also famous for it’s wonderful interior and exterior. A lot of Tourists around the world dream to visit it. I enjoyed this visit very much!
