My party was great, thanks for asking. I had it outside around the pool because the weather was fantastic. I had a disco and all my friends from school came. I got lots of presents and I had a huge cake in the shape of a desert island. I had a fantastic time. I was surprised to hear that you’ re going to New York. Are you going there on holiday or to visit a friend? How long are you staying for and where are you staying? I’ ve always wanted to go there. I bet you’ ll have a fantastic time. Please send me a postcard. Have a great time and write soon. Love, Claire
A letter about my friend
Dear George, Thanks for your email. It was great to hear from you. You asked about my best friend. Well, he’ s called John and he’ s tall and slim and athletic. He loves sports and he’ s kind and funny. We play a lot of basketball together and we go to the cinema quite a lot and sometimes we just hang out in the park. You’ d like him. You said you can’ t wait for the winter holidays. Why? What have you got planned? Are you going away somewhere? Do you do many winter sports? Write back soon and tell me all about your plans. Yours, Gary
Письмо с советом от скуки
Dear Michelle, I’ m sorry to hear that you are bored, but I think I might have a few ideas to help you. Why don’ t you create your own youth club where all your friends could come? It could be a games club or a film club in someone’ s garage or spare room. This way you’ ll have something to do. Have you thought of taking up a sport together? This way you could hang out together and get fit at the same time. I hope my advice helps. Write back and let me know. Love, Joanne
Teenage fashion
In my country, there are always several trends and so teenagers wear a variety of clothes. A lot of teenagers are influenced by American TV and they copy the clothes some American kids wear. Many boys like to wear large baggy trousers, Nike or Adidas trainers and baseball caps. Most girls seem to follow the latest fashion that they see in magazines and so they wear whatever is in. Others are inspired by rock groups and wear the same clothes that their favourite singer wears. Teenagers who keep up with the latest fashion and who have the money to spend, tend to go to high street shops while others like going to markets or second-hand shops. I think most teenagers would spend about 100 a month on clothes.
