Writing 20
You have 20 min to do this task.
This is part of a letter from Timothy, your English pen friend:
... It's my third week at the language school. The programmes are full and very interesting, but most of the learning is done in the classrooms. I can't say that I'm disappointed, but I'd like to have more practice and experience the language culture outside the classrooms.
How do you study English? Where do you practice it? Do you think that it's necessary to go abroad to develop your language skills?...
Write a letter and answer his 3 questions.
Write 100 – 200 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.

Dear Timothy,
Great to get your letter! I've learnt a lot about your language practice.
Frankly speaking, I've never had any language practice abroad and I don't have any possibilities of such studies besides school lessons.
I practise English, reading books in the original and I also enjoy listening to some famous English groups like the 'Beatles'. Listening to some other groups is also quite helpful. For example, ABBA songs are easily understood.
I'd like to have a chance of practicing English with a native speaker, though not necessarily abroad (it's cool but too expensive)!
Sorry, I've got to feed my dog.
Write soon.
Love,
Angela
