You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Edward who writes:
...In Great Britain young people want to become independent from their parents as soon as possible. Could you tell me what you and your friends think about not relying on your parents? Do you enjoy spending weekends or holidays with your family? What do you do together?
As for the latest news, I have just passed my last exam...
Write a letter to Edward. In your letter answer her questions, ask 3 questions about his exams. Write 100—140 words. Remember the rules of letter writing. You have 20 minutes to do this task.

Hey Edward! I'm extremely glad that you wrote the letter, cause i feel really bored and now my time is yours. As you know I live in Russia/Belarus, and generally education in our countries is different. For instance in my country a teenager probably wants to leave a parents' house because of such an alluring independent life. Everyone wants to feel freedom, but it depends on some conditions: financial possibility, a district of living and etc. But there's no forces that require teenagers or students to move out immediately as soon as it's possible. What is it for? After graduating from school a future student must choose college or a sufficient university, you know. There's a choice too: you can stay with parents if an establishment is close enough or move out to an apartment. That's not a big deal, apartments are cheap in general, also scholarships maintain students existence. Occasionally parents send some money to help their children. That's normal! Oh and what about you? What is a student's life like in your country? In Russia/Belarus students visit their parents as much as they can. Cause there's nothing more relaxing than seeing with your family. Holidays are included as well. Sometimes we just eat together enjoying the atmosphere, sometimes sing and dance, play boardgames and let us be ourselves. I admire having this time. I suppose you should visit me one day or I can find a free day in my schedule. It would be wonderful, wouldn't it? And almost forgot to ask something... Umm.. Edward, could you please tell me more about the pressure which students get in Britain. I feel like i desire to live in England. I'm sure that there's a dream come true. How is it? I'd be also glad to know how you're doing. Please. I'm already looking forward.
Thanks for the letter! See ya!
P.S Good for you! It's so pleasant that you have passed the exams and now you can relax a bit.
With regards, Vika.
