letter to a friend Hi Matthew, it’s a pleasure to hear from you! I am very excited that you’re soon coming to my city, and I am sure you will enjoy your stay and your course at the language school a lot. I will do my best to spend some quality time with you. As for the activities, I think you might like short walking tours. They are organized by the city council, they are free of charge, and they usually last 1,5 hours max. Then, if you’d like to do something indoors, the options are even wider – you can volunteer as a language instructor at the local library, you can learn how to dance or you can go and play board games – these are popular activities here in Volgograd. Well, it’s time for me to go bed. I am very happy that you’re coming here. Please, tell me more about your course and where you are going to stay. Regards, Olga
