​address, date

​Dear Jane,
Thanks a lot for your letter. It's always nice to hear from you again.
I'm glad the town you live in is so nice. As for me, I enjoy living in Moscow, as it is the place where my family and friends live. There are a lot of sport clubs, shopping centres and theaters in Moscow. So we've got a wide choice of different pastimes. Usually I choose between a swimming pool and a walk in the park in my spare time.
You are lucky to have a sister. Are you getting on well with her? Does she share her secrets with you? How much time do you spwnd with her?
I've got to go now. I'm having my piano lesson in an hour. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Dasha
