Dear Ben,
Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.
You asked me a few questions about my life, and I would like to answer them now. To tell the truth, I get to know what’s happening in the world on the Internet and social media. You won’t believe it, but I haven’t made my mind up yet. I want to create games but I don’t want to be a programmer. I think English will be necessary for my future career undoubtedly, whatever it will be, because English has become a universal language of international communication.
Excuse me, I have to finish my email now.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Igor

Dear Ben,
Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.
You asked me a few questions about ecology, and I would like to answer them now. In my opinion, the most serious ecological problem is air and water pollution. Our lives depend on that literally. To tell the truth, young people can protect the environment by cleaning up trash, separating waste, saving water, and convincing my friends to do the same. I am absolutely sure that ecological problems should be discussed at school because schoolchildren should understand how to eliminate those threats to their future lives.

From: Ben_mail

Subject: Music
…Frankly, I don’t understand why some people like classical music. I adore rock and usually listen to it on my way home from school. If my favourite band comes to our town, I’ll definitely go to their concert.
…What kind of music do you like? Do you think it is necessary to have music lessons at school, why? What musical instrument would you like to play?…

You asked me a few questions about music, and I would like to answer them now. It might seem unusual, but I like classical music. You know my parents are musicians. I am sure it’s necessary to have music lessons at school. They help us feel and realise harmony and beauty of sounds. Honestly speaking, I would like to play piano or guitar. I hope I will learn to play them after leaving my school, when I have more time to do that.

…Do you think it’s exciting to be a famous actor and why? When did you last see a theatrical performance? Have you ever been to the Bolshoi Theatre?…

Dear Ben,
Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.
You asked me a few questions about art, and I would like to answer them now. I’m not sure, to be honest, that being a famous actor is exciting. It’s always a lot of stress, emotional tension, gossip, rivalry, and envy. No, nothing of the kind. You know I saw a theatrical performance last year. It was a Christmas show. I have to admit that I have never been to the Bolshoi Theatre yet. It’s a shame, but I hope I’ll visit it one day as I grow older.
