Hi,Veronica

Thanks for your letter. I hope you are well. I am happy about your present and now you can spend your time excitingly.

In Ukraine people spend their time differently,

especially teenagers. Most of them go for a walk with their friends to the cinema, sit in a cafe or just stroll in the city. But others prefer staying at home and listening to music or playing computer games. Also we are fond of watching serials and films.

Personally I like computer games. My brother told me how to play it when I was ten, and since then I have been playing with him or my friends. In computer games I do whatever I want. I get relaxed and happier. But sometimes i forget about the time playing games.

Actually, I don't use computer just for having rest. I always do my homework with it or with its help. I prepare presentations, watch online lessons, learn new material and read books. Computer helps me a lot in my study routine.

I hope, you will have a good time using your laptop. And I promise we will play together online!

Best wishes,

Kate
