Peter: Friday.
J: What was the city like?
P: Well, we visited three places — the cathedral, the museum and the castle. The castle only opens in the morning so the bus took us straight there. After that we went to the museum and the cathedral.
J: Was it a good trip?
P: Well — in the museum we looked at old paintings and stamps, which I didn’t like much, but the guide showed us some old clocks and told us all about them. That was interesting.
J: And the castle?
P: Well, you know how some are just dark, empty ruins. This was different. There was a lot to see. It just wasn’t very warm.
J: Did you go shopping?
P: Yes, after eating our sandwiches. I only bought some postcards. The book about Durham I wanted was too expensive. J: Did you take any photographs? P: Well, before we went back to the bus I took some of my friends. I wanted to take photos of the cathedral windows but it wasn’t possible.
Dear Ben,
How's it going? Thank you for your letter. Haven't heard you for ages.
I like playing computer games too, but I play them very seldom. I prefer to read a good book in my free time. I like reading books by Lermontov. He’s my favourite author. He’s a famous Russian poet and prose writer. I like his poems. Also I like reading adventures stories. For example, I’ve recently read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. I advise you to read this really interesting book.
What computer games do you like playing?
