Dear Paul, Thank you for the invitation to come to Kyiv and spend the holidays with you. I hope, I shall come after the examinations. Now I am busy. I am taking my exams. The examination in physics is the most difficult one for me. But I am sure I shall pass it successfully. I am working hard.

The weather in Kherson is dull, it is raining now. My parents are at home today. Mother is teaching our Hellen English and father is reading a book on his speciality. They ask you to remember them to your family.

Hope to see you soon.

Yours, Peter.
