man just can't help fiddling round with even the most basic technologies in order to make them better. as soon as something new is created, people, particularly scientists, inventors make efforts to make the life of humankind much more comfortable. automats, robots and complex machines were and still are created just to automatize technical processes, devices are constructed for domestic needs. there is some joke, or so-called people belief, that signs all the inventions that have already carried out by present and take place just because of man's laziness. i mean, they happen on earth because people want to make as less moves by hands and feet as possible. for example, men didn't want to jump and run every time to change tv channel, so they invented a remote-control station.

dear david,

how are you? sorry, i couldn't write earlier, as i had a lot to do.

well, i think that russian teenagers are just like every other teenagers. we just do the normal stuff, like watching a movie or meet our friends and go to some sort of restaurant or to mc donalds and eat there. we are also a really social country, we like to talk a lot, so a simple walk in the park is not bad either. 

oh, i didn't know you can skate! do you have some other hobbies i don't know about? what about reading? i like to sing. how about you? do you like music and singing?

well i have to end now, as i still got a lot to do. hope to hear from you soon.

yours,

name
