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,

it was ten o'clock at night. eddie was tired and hungry. he spent the last five hours talking to the company's senior managers. he realized that he would have to resign from his job, and also that was facing the possibility of going to prison. six months ago, everything was fine. he had a wonderful job and he made a lot of money. then he met some people who advised him badly. they gave him a list of companies and told him to buy their shares. he had to use the company's money to do this. at first the shares were rising, so he bought some more. everything seemed so easy. then the stock market crashed and he lost everything. eddie telephoned his wife before leaving the office. he apologized for not phoning earlier, explaining that he had a difficult meeting. "you sound upset. anything wrong happened? " she asked. "i’ll tell you about it if you want when i get back," he replied.
