Dear Tom,

Thank you for your letter, it gave me a lot of new information about young people, living in Great Britain.

In my opinion leaving family and parents house as soon as possible is a good idea. Everyone wants it. But, unfortunately, our government in Russia does not give students the sufficient amount of money to "survive". The scholarships are low, the rent prices are high. To be independent in financial way means working or working and studying at the same time, which meant not having a happy student’s life. Talking about me, I’m not ready yet to take all these responsibilities and leave home.

By the way, about your trip to Scotland. What was the most amazing place that you visitied? Did you travel alone? How long were you there?

I've got to go as my friend is asking me for help.

Write back soon.

Best wishes,

Molly
