You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Bill who writes:
| ...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... |
Write a letter to Bill. In your letter answer her questions, ask 3 questions about his favourite TV programmes. Write 100–140 words. Remember the rules of letter writing. You have 20 minutes to do this task.

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your letter. 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 so 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
