### 2. RNE Writing: Letter to Sue
#### Образец письма:
Dear Sue,
Thanks for your letter! It was great to hear from you. I'm really happy that you like your new place!
As for my visit, I will be on holiday next month, so I think I can come during the second week of November. I'll be able to stay for about five days before I need to return to school. When I visit, I would love to explore your new area, go for a walk in a local park, and maybe spend an evening watching our favourite movies together.
Tell me more about your new neighbourhood. Is there a shopping mall or a cinema nearby? How far is it from the city centre? Is the public transport convenient there?
I have to go now and finish my homework. Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Anna

The weather was wonderful: the sun was shining brightly, and the sea in the background was calm and crystal clear. My brother is wearing bright yellow swimming shorts and a blue cap. He is laughing and throwing a red frisbee to our dog, who is jumping happily to catch it.
