Dear Nancy,

I'm very happy to hear from you so soon.

Yes, I've got really good marks in most

subjects this year. But it was more difficult

to study as it was the final school year. I had

to take some exams and they weren't easy

at all.

I also had a new subject at school. It was

astronomy. I found it quite interesting and

even fascinating.

My parents wanted me to be more serious

and hard-working. So now I'm tired and

exhausted. I'm going to have the most

wonderful holidays. In September I'm

starting my study at university.

I'm glad your parents have finally bought

you a dog. I think dogs are faithful friends.

What's its name? What does it look like?

How do you spend your time together?

Hope you're having fun with your dog!

Best wishes, Aldar
