First Letters from American Students
Hello Nickolay,
My name is Nick. I live in Mississippi and go to school 5 times a week. During these 5 days I have social studies which is the study of all things around the world. Also, I also have art, Math, Strength and Conditioning, where we lift weights. Finally, I have science, English, and ICT 2 where I learn about computers and different things to do with them. I wake up at 6:30 and have to be at school at 7:45, after we learn all of our different lessons, we go back home at 3:07. While at home, I study all of my subjects and eat dinner around 6:00 and go to sleep at 9:30
Best wishes,
Nick
Hi Ann! My name is Neely and I am 13 years old and I am in 8th grade. Unfortunately, I am not coordinated enough to play a sport, much less ballroom dancing (a fantastic accomplishment, by the way), but I do love to play Monopoly. The only bad thing is that whenever I play, the game always ends up lasting for hours, and by the end of it all of the people playing end up hating each other. After school, I usually read and do my homework, or spend time with my friends on the weekends. My hobbies include paragliding and swimming with sharks. Just kidding. I'm not that interesting. But I do love writing and drawing and watching TV, which makes for a very uninteresting combination. What is your favorite movie to watch? Also, what do you do in the mornings (Before school and such)?
Write back soon!
Love,
Neely
P.S: Sorry for the belated message, I was sick.
P.P.S:I collect American quarters, which are not nearly as cool as Polish and Russian coins, but its close enough.
Dear Denis,
My name is Catherine. I am 12 years old. I play soccer and I swim. I live with my parents and I have 2 dogs and a sister who is 15. I love to watch football, baseball, and soccer. My favorite football team is the New York Giants and my favorite baseball team is the St. Louis Cardinals, who made it to the World Series this year. My favorite soccer team is Barcelona. I also like to ski, even though I live in the southern area of the United States, where it is warm, but I have been to where it is cold. School starts at 7:45 and ends at 3:07. I ride in a car with my mom and my sister to and from school. When I get home from school, I do my homework, then I go to soccer or swim practice. In my free time I like to watch TV. Do you play any sports? Do you like to watch any sports? Who are your favorite teams? My favorite color is blue. What is yours? My favorite food is pasta. What about you?
See you soon.
Your friend,
Catherine
Hi, Matvey. I am 14, and I am a boy. I live with my parents and little brothers and big sister. Tyson is 3 months, Markese is 7, and Azane' is 15. My school starts at 7:40 am and ends 3:07 pm.
I'm on the football team, also.
What position do you play? I play full back, line back, and linemen. Oh, yah, I almost forgot. Do you all have iPhones? I do. One more thing- do you want to be a football player and a lawyer when you grow up? That's what I want to be.
Talk to you soon:

Dear Dana,
Hello. My name is Jessica and I'm twelve. I'm a girl. I live with my mom, my grandma, my younger brother, Michael, and my older brother, Brian in Mississippi. My dad lives next door to me. During the weekday, I wake up at 6:50am and my school starts at 7:40am. School ends at 3:05pm. I normally hang out with my friends during school, usually at breakfast and lunch time. After school, I walk home. When I get home, I do my homework and wait for my mom and brothers to get home. When they get home, my brothers and I go to play on our computers and electronics. We play video games until we have to go to bed at 9:00pm. On Mondays, when my brothers get home, my family goes to a restaurant called the Beacon. After we go there, my brothers go to boy scouts and I go home. On the weekend, I get up at around 9:00am. In my free time, I play video games, watch anime, draw, play my violin, listen to music, read, and plan for games my family does every Saturday at around 4:00pm.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What does your family like to do together?
Sincerely,
Jessica
Hi Knara.
My name is Maddison and I am thirteen. I am an only child, but my parents want to have more children. It's really cool that you have a twin! I'm good; how are you? I usually wake up at 6oclock in the morning and I ride the bus so I don't have time to eat breakfast, but I eat breakfast at school. My bus usually gets to school around 7:20 and lessons start around 8oclock. What do you do in the time between when you wake up and when lessons start? My school ends around 3oclock. I am on the school's swim team and on the school's cross country team. Cross country is a long-distance running team. After school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have swim practice, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have cross country. I have homework every week from most of my classes. I am also the editor of my school's news. Do you have any hobbies?
I hope we can email again soon.

Hi, Ida.
My name is Brooke and I am 13. I live with my parents, my twin sister, my younger sister, my younger brother, and my dog in Mississippi. On school days I wake 6:30 am. I usually eat breakfast at school or sometimes I don't eat breakfast at all. My parents always drive me to school. School starts at 7:40 am. School ends at 3:07 pm. After school I get on the computer, watch TV shows, read, or write stories. Maybe if you tell me what you're interested in, I can write you a short story about it! My homework isn't due until Friday so I usually don't do it until the very last minute. (Oops). I don't get to see my friends much except at school because they live on the other side of town. I don't play very many computer games, but I really want to. I'm waiting to save up for my own laptop so I can download computer games. I want to play Amnesia, Slender, and Minecraft. I like to get on Tumblr and YouTube. Is it really cold there? It never gets really cold here. If we're lucky, it snows once the whole year. Do you watch Netflix? What TV shows do you like to watch, if you watch TV? What computer games to you like to play? Do you like to read? I think it's awesome that you have art school. I wish I could draw but I'm not very good.
Write back as soon as possible!
Your friend,
Brooke
Dear Vika,
My name is Anneke(I'm a girl as well). I'm 13 years old. I come from the state of Mississippi. In my daily routine, I wake up around 6:35 am every day unless it's the weekend. Then I wake up at around 9:00 or 10:00 am. I go over homework right after dinner. I used to play soccer(football) and take Russian, but then my teacher moved and we couldn't find another good one. Unfortunately, there weren't enough girls for our soccer(football) team. School ends at 3:05 pm and starts at 7:45 pm. On a school day I go to bed at 10:20 pm and on weekends I go to bed around 2:00 am. I don't have that much free time because of homework and other school-related stuff. After school I look on the internet and watch videos when I have the time. I also go outside and sometimes play video-games. What is your favorite sport? Do you have any pets? What is your favorite subject in school? I also understand that you probably have another kind of school system. What is it like? I hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Anneke
