  Many people enjoy watching soap operas and spend all evenings living life of the soap opera characters. Is it really a good way to spend your leisure time?
  In my opinion soap operas are the most dull and less interesting product of TV industry. First of all, they are very long and the plot is primitive. I’d better solve my own problems than watch difficulties in other people’s life. Secondly, the acting in such kind of movies is awful. The actors who play in soap operas do not deserve to be called actors, because very often they are not able to act. Thirdly, soap operas are really useless, because they don’t give food for your brain. There is nothing to think about and reflect on in the soap operas.
  However, many people find soap operas enjoyable and realistic. They think that these movies state universal problems. I can’t agree with such arguments, because in every soap opera there is only one problem: someone is really ill or perished, and others cry over spilt milk. All emotions are exaggerated in soap operas that’s why I can’t agree with the statement that they are realistic.
  To sum up, I am not one of those who enjoy soap operas. I suppose that there are far pleasanter and useful ways of spending free time. I don’t mind of people watching soap operas, but it is certainly not my choice.

Dear Andrea,
Thank you for your letter. I’m awfully sorry for not writing for so long because I’ve been busy at
school studying for my exams. How are you keeping?
  In your letter you took a deep interest in my hobbies. Well, I do collect small things and most
of them are small figures of penguins. Frankly speaking, I like buying clothes on my pocket
money. My mother doesn’t like it and we often argue. My friends spend their money on going to
a cinema or on computer games. Isn’t it silly?
  As I’ve heard you have just entered courses. What courses do you attend? Do you go alone
or with your friends? Do you enjoy spending your time there?
  Well, got to go now.
  Keep in touch.
  Best wishes,        
  Katya
