Я хочу сказать, что эти каникулы очень многому меня научили. Начну с того, что я потерялась в чужом городе. Мама не разрешила мне идти за мороженым, пока мой брат катался на карусели, но я пошла. Мне казалось, это так легко купить мороженое и вернуться. Но... я не смогла найти дорогу. Мне пришлось обращаться к полицейскому, и он отвел меня к той карусели, где были мама и брат. Конечно, мама стояла на месте и ждала меня. Как она ругалась! Она  была права. Больше я никогда никуда не пойду  одна. Это точно!

I would like to say that these holidays really taught me a lot. To start with the fact that I has lost in a strange city. My mum did not allow me to go for ice cream, while my brother was riding a carousel, but I went. It seemed to me, it is so easy to buy ice cream and return back. But... I could not find the road. I had to look for a policeman, and he took me to the carousel, where mom and my brother were. Of course, they were standing there and waiting for me. How my mum shouted at me! But she was quite right .  I will never go anywhere alone. That's for sure!

Dear Molly,
It was great to hear from you.
I want to apologize for not writing earlier, every time I've read your letters, I didn't have time to reply.
I think that the best way of spending holidays is travelling to other countries. If not travelling, the good ones are going to cafés, theatres, cinemas. If not in the evening, then I'd recommend you to go for a walk in forest. As for me, I feel peacefulness when walking in forest.
As for watching movies, I am not used to. Watching a movie is fantastic even if you don't understand what is going on there.

Looking forward to receiving your reply!

Lots of love,
Rhodion
