I love pop music, I think people can not live without it. The first thing I do in the morning I switch on my tape — recorder.

We can hear pop music everywhere: in the streets, in the shops, on TV, over the radio, in the cars, in the parks, everywhere. 
I enjoy listening pop music because it reflects my moods and emotions. Very often when I'm blue, I play my favourite merry songs and feel much better. 

Sometimes I attend music halls and the concerts, when popular groups and singers are there. I like watching music programs on TV. I like to know more and more about popular talented groups and singers I like.

  Dear Susan,

  Thanks for your letter! Sorry, I’ve been meaning to write to you for ages but somehow just haven’t been able to find the time.

  Well, I'm glad to know that you decided to try yourself in something new. Listen, I told you about how I, as a child, with my parents decided to go hiking? The view of the sunset from the mountains was simply indescribable! I'm sure you'll like it.

  By the way, did you know that extreme sports are relevant today? For example, surfing is popular on the beaches, and snowboarding is popular on the snowy places.

  I finish my letter because I have to go on working.

  Best wishes,

  Ваше имя

  Дорогая Сьюзен,

за твоё письмо! Извини, я хотела написать тебе всё время, но почему-то просто не смогла найти время.

  Что ж, я рада узнать, что ты решила попробовать себя в чём-то новом. Слушай, я рассказывала тебе о том, как я в детстве с родителями решила отправиться в поход? Вид на закат с гор просто неописуем! Я уверена, что тебе понравится.

  Кстати, а ты знала, что экстремальные виды спорта актуальны сегодня? Например, серфинг популярен на пляжах, а катание на сноуборде популярно в заснеженных местах.

  Я заканчиваю свое письмо, потому что я должна продолжать работать.

  С наилучшими пожеланиями,

  Ваше имя
