14. 127, KropotkinStreet, Novosibirsk, 834576 Russian Federation Dear Sam , Thank you very much for your letter! I was really glad to hear from you! You know that I live in Novosibirsk, in the centre of my country. Winters here are usually severe with the temperature going down to 35 degrees below zero! With such temperature outside, I usually try spending my time at home, or visit my friends. Sometimes, when it is warmer, we go sledging and skiing. There is a big skating rink in the central park, so we go skating, too! I should say that I don’t like winters very mush because of cold. I think that if we had warmer winters, I would like this season more. Now tell me, please, about your new mp3-player! You know that I love electronic devices! What’s the brand? How much memory does it have? Can you watch video files on it? I’m looking forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Ilya. ! 164 слова, допустимо отклонение на 10%, т.е. 150 слов 12th October 2010
