Hi, Maggie!
I'm so glad to hear from you! Thank you very much for your letter! You asked me about our weather. Well, it is still very cold here and though it is already spring, there are no flowers and the trees are not green as it is very cold. How is the weather in your city?
School here is as boring as you described. Tests, tests all the time. But I try to get good marks anyway as I want to pass my exams well. Sure, I have to work hard but I hope it;ll help me in my future. So I completely agree with your parents that you should work harder. And not only with the subjects you like but with all the rest as well.Sorry for my short letter, but I really have to go now. I have some extra classes and my teachers are waiting for me. Write back as soon as you can, I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Hope it'll get better with your studies.
Love
Igor.
