How nice of to write me back so soon! It is always joyful to get letters from you! As I have understood you go on practicing sports thanks to that you are in high spirits, don’t you?
As for my news, I am going to visit Russia in November. My parents suddenly decided to take holidays for a week. So we will be able to meet together in the nearest future. Could you tell me what the weather is like in autumn in Russia? What clothes should I take in this month that I want to come? They say that there is an Indian autumn (бабье лето) in Russia in September. Can you explain what it means?
Sorry, but I should stop writing the letter: there are lots of studies I must do. I am looking forward to your answer and I already hope for our meeting.
