Dear Timothy,
Thanks for your letter. I feel really happy for your little brother, who starts school next September. I wish him all the best!
In your letter you ask me about schooling in Russia. Here children start school at the age of 7. My best memory about my primary school is my first teacher, who was caring and friendly. As for my friends from primary school, we now study at the same secondary school, so we meet every day.
It's great to hear you are taking boxing lessons now. What does a typical boxing lesson look like? How often do you practise? Are boxing lessons challenging?
That's all for now. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Vitaliy
