Dear Sarah,

Thank you for your [ ] letter. It was great to hear from you. I must [ ] not writing for so long, as I have been busy with my studies.

In your letter you [ ] my last trip. [ ], my last trip was to St Petersburg. This city is considered the cultural capital of Russia. Many people [ ] call it the Russian Venice, as it was built on water. Many bridges connect this city into a single whole. We really managed to visit many sights: the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Hermitage, Peterhof, the Russian Museum. [ ], we didn't have a good time there because we were arguing with my sister all the time.

It's great to hear that you've got good relationships in your family. How do you manage to have a great atmosphere in the family? How can people solve conflicts in families? Is it possible not to fight with siblings?

[ ], I have to finish now. I guess it's time [ ] that studying I've been avoiding recently.

Write back soon.

[ ],

Irene
