Hi Ryli, how are you? I am glad that the e-mail correspondence is working and all letters are being received. I am very glad to see the photo looks cool. Thank you for answering me so sympathetically. What do you do in your free time? I would like to know more about your hobbies. I really love to go out with my friend Anna for a weekend walk or visit a cafe. In the summer, we sometimes go out into nature and cook meat on coals and eat fruit. My dear Ryli, I now live alone. I used to live with my father, but when I graduated from university and found a job, I decided to live separately, because it was very inconvenient for me to get to my place of work. My father lives in a village near my city. My father is already retired and I don’t want to sit around his neck. As I said before, every weekend I go to my father and help him around the house and we cook together. My father worked as a cook in cafes and restaurants. My father cooks very tasty meat, fish and meat dishes. My father taught me how to cook from childhood and it was always very interesting for me to try new recipes. My mother left my father when the family was in a very difficult situation. My father didn’t talk much about this. But if you are interested, I can tell you about it. I was a welcome child for my father. But my mother treated me and my father very mediocre. I only remember that I saw my mother about 3-4 times after my mother left me and my father. My father told me that I was very afraid when my parents fought. But perhaps I don’t want to remember this anymore. I would like to ask you how your childhood was. You have funny stories from your childhood, I would be very pleased if you could share with me some interesting stories from my childhood or student life.

I will be waiting for your letter and your photos.

Hug
Your Yulia
