| ...At school we are doing projects on famous people of different countries. If I choose Russia whom should I write about? What is this person famous for and what do you know about him/her? Why do you think people in other countries should know about this person? I’ve just watched an interesting wildlife TV programme... |

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your message. I'm sorry for not writing you for so long. I was too busy studying.
We do projects as well. For the same project I would choose Dostoevsky. It’s a famous Russian writer of 19th century who wrote a lot of novels. I read few of them and I like them a lot. He is well known round the world because he is also a main Russian philosopher and all his novels contain a complicated story, wide view of Russian society and mentality. Through his works people can understand a lot about the psychology of human being and that's why he is do importaint.
Anyway, you've mentioned a TV programme. What is your favourite TV show? Why do you like it? Which channel is it on?
I've got to go as my friend is asking me for help.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Bob
