Lena Writes to Mary Smith / Лена пишет Мэри Смит

Flat 8,16, Lenin Street, Verkhovsk, RussiaJanuary 17th, 2000Dear Mary,Many thanks for your interesting letters about England. I showed them to my English teacher and to the pupils of my class, and they liked them very much. Today I am going to tell you about the English Club at our school. It was organized by the English teachers.Meetings of our club take place every week. Sometimes we have talks about England and America and the life of the people. Very often there are exhibitions on English and American life or literature.Last year, a very good exhibition on William Shakespeare took place at our club. There was a large portrait of Shakespeare on a stand, and around it were pictures of Shakespeare's house, the Shakespeare theater, the story of his life and work. We like Shakespeare very much. Very good films of his plays were made in the world.So you see, we like English very much and we always learn a lot about your country.I shall end my letter now. I wish you and your family all the best, and I hope I shall receive another letter from you soon.Your friend, Lena
