Ecology in Ukraine (informal letter)

Dear Jared,
I got your letter yesterday and decided to write back straightway. You asked me about minuses of my Motherland. It’s a pity, but there are plenty of them. The biggest one is ecology.
It’s a well known fact that Ukraine is a granary of Europe. At the same time we have some of the most polluted landscapes in Eastern Europe. It happened because of industrial factories, chemical fertilizers etc.

I live in the one of the most polluted region. Here we have a lot of coal mines and coal using works. All of them contaminate our air. You know, a friend of mine has asthma an account of them.

But it doesn’t mean that Ukraine is a country with gray polluted sky and without beautiful landscapes. Come to me and I will show you pluses of my homeland.

Forever yours,

Amy

Typical Ukrainian Family (100 words) II version

Dear Emily,
Thank you for your letter. It was interesting to hear about your Halloween party. Now I wanna write you about my family.
I can say that my family is typical Ukrainian family. There are two children (my brother and me) and two parents. Father works and mother is busy with little child. So we haven’t so many time for being together. A lot of families are like mine.
Foreigners notice that family is very important for Ukrainians. We put it on the first place before career, money or education. I think that it is good. Family is a building block of our country.
Dear friend, please write my about your family!

Looking forward to hear from you,

Kostya.

Typical Ukrainian Family (100 words) I version

Dear Victor,

How are you? Thank you for writing such a long and interesting letter. You have written me about the typical American family and now I tell you about the typical Ukrainian family.

Generally there are one or two children in the family. Sometimes we can find families with one parent. A typical day for families starts at 7 o’clock. Mother gets up earlier because she cooks breakfast for children and husband. We eat light food or drink tea with bread and butter.  Than parents go to work and children go to school. Women usually work like men. In the evening family gathers together, watch TV or speaks about past day.

As you see, there’s nothing incredible or abnormal. We love our families and appreciate theirs. Please write me about differences between our families,

With best regards,

Vlad

Dear Jared,                                                              
It was really great to hear from you. I got your letter yesterday and decided to write back straightway. It was interesting to hear that a lot of our stereotypes about American people are groundless. I was asked about our life. As I understand you’re interested in a life of typical Ukrainian family, aren’t you? I’ll tell you everything what I can.
