Dear Ben,
Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.
You asked me a few questions about museums, and I would like to answer them now. Honestly speaking, I don’t find visiting museums interesting at all. They look quite boring to me. We waste hours to get there and have a look at the things, which are available on the Internet. You know I have no idea of what museum I would like to set up because my attitude to museums is negative. As far as my free time concerned, I enjoy spending it on computer games or going shopping.
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 my best friend, and I would like to answer them now. Honestly speaking, my best friend is a kind of supportive and caring person. I can rely on him completely. As far as I remember, we have been friends since our childhood. We met in the kindergarten first. You know we have a lot in common, so we usually hang out in the shopping centres, do window shopping, play computer games, do our homework, and enjoy watching movies. We are hand in glove together.
Excuse me, I have to finish my email now.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Igor

From: [email protected]
Subject: Books
…What an awful task – to read boring books all summer! And the list is so long! I like reading but the books I like are usually not my school’s choice.
…How long is your school’s list of books? What kind of books do you like to read? Do you think an electronic book is a good choice when you’re travelling in the summer, and why?…

Dear Ben,
Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.
You asked me a few questions about reading books, and I would like to answer them now. Frankly speaking, my school’s list of books is quite long because each subject includes many of them. You won’t believe it, but I like to read comics and Japanese manga. There are a lot of images in them. It’s really exciting. In my opinion, an electronic book is not a good choice anymore, when you’re travelling in the summer since smartphones substituted it completely. An e-book has become old and obsolete.
