...It is almost spring, but surprisingly, it snowed last Wednesday! This was the first snow we’d had in more than two years! Everyone got very excited. My brother and I made a snowman in the back yard. All the roads became very slippery, so school was cancelled, and many businesses like banks were closed for two days. In which weather conditions does school in Moscow get cancelled? What was the last time you experienced it, if ever? What is the weather like in Moscow now? By the way, our snowman turned out so good, they even put its picture in the local newspaper!... |

Dear Martin,
Thanks for your message. I'm sorry I couldn't answer you earlier.
I was glad to hear that you had had been having fun. You know that winters in Moscow differ drastically, as temperatures recorded at way below freezing point. Our school gets cancelled when we have −25 °C. I remember that we experienced that two years ago. Now the weather is fine, but it not so warm, so it is easy to get ill if you forget about some precautions.
It is great to spend some time with your family and have such a success with the result of your teamwork. What was your snowman like? Did you decorate it? Did you give it a name?
I'm sorry, but I have to leave now, it's time for me to walk my dog.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Ella
