  14. Ust-Barguzin, Russia 4 December, 2012 Dear Boris, I was delighted to receive your nice letter, and I am so glad to have a pen-pal in Russia. Let me tell you something about myself. I am just fifteen and I attend our local school. I am taking eight subjects in all, but my favorite ones are chemistry and Russian. I wish I knew more about Russian culture and history. My family is not very large. There are only three of us: my mother, my elder brother John, who is nineteen, and myself. In my spare time I do a lot of swimming, and my other hobby is football. It was certainly a good idea of yours to suggest my writing in Russian, but unfortunately I am not proficient enough yet and would make too many mistakes. You will be pleased to hear that in your letter you did not make any mistakes at all. I hope you will write me again soon. Yours sincerely, Johnny.
