…I went shopping with my parents yesterday. Do you prefer to shop online or in regular stores? Why do you think many people like to spend their weekends in big shopping malls? Do you like to go shopping on your own or with friends, and why?
You know, I celebrated my birthday last week…
– ask 3 questions about her birthday celebration
Dear Jane,
Thank you for your letter. I was happy to hear from you again.
In your email, you ask me some questions about shopping, and I would like to answer them now. To tell the truth, I prefer shopping online because it saves time. I think many people like to spend their weekends in big shopping malls since they want to unwind from their daily routine and work. Honestly speaking, I like to go shopping with my friends. We share opinions and have a lot of fun.
I’m glad to hear about your birthday celebration. I’d like to ask you a few questions about that. Were there a lot of people at the party? Was the atmosphere cheerful and joyful? Did you get a lot of gifts?
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Igor

…Last week, it was my sister’s turn to go to the grocery store. For three days, we had nothing to eat but frozen vegetables. Yucky. Who and how often buys food for your family? What kind of food do you usually have at home? What do you think about your local grocery food stores?

Dear Max,
Thank you for your letter. I was happy to hear from you again.
In your email, you ask me some questions about buying food, and I would like to answer them now. You won’t believe it, but it’s my father who buys food for our family, since our mother works late. He also has a knack for cooking mouth-watering meals. To tell the truth, at home we have usual food – vegetable and fruit, meet, rice, potato, tomato. I think our local grocery stores are great because my father buys good vegetables and fruit.
