You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Lisa who writes:
| ...Our school administration is planning to introduce a new school uniform. Students and parents are welcome to come up with ideas. Personally I’m quite happy with the old one — a white shirt or a blouse and a tie for both boys and girls. Do all school students in Russia wear a uniform? What's your idea of a good school uniform? Should it be the same for boys and girls? Just imagine I am going on an exchange school program to France!… |
Write a letter to Lisa. In your letter answer her questions, ask 3 questions about her school exchange program. Write 100–140 words. Remember the rules of letter writing. You have 20 minutes to do this task.

Dear Lisa,
Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry for not writing you for so long. I was helping my brother with his school tasks.
It’s great that the administration of your school ask students about their preferences. In Russia many schools have uniforms, but not all of them. In my school we never had it. Every student has an opportunity to wear what he wants and self-affirm himself by his style. I would like to invent something middle official and more comfortable. It could be same for boys and girls, because I believe that it’s not very comfortable to wear skirts all the time.
Anyway, you've mentioned an exchange school program. What programs does your school have? Is it difficult to be a part of it? What special abilities should a student have to study abroad?
I've got to go as my brother wants me to help him with his homework.
Write back soon,
Best wishes,
Mike
