... I need some money to go on holiday with my friends at the end of August. Do you think I should find a job? Have you or any of your friends done summer jobs? I'm thinking of working as a waiter for a few weeks, do you think it's a good idea? What other jobs do you think I could do? And what do you think the problems might be? Let me know what you think. Write soon, Love, Tom |

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your letter. I received your letter a few days ago and I’ve been trying to find time to write you back ever since. I’ve been really busy lately.
I think that it’s a really good idea to work in the summer. As a matter of fact, one of my friends worked last summer and he really liked it. He distributed fliers. Besides, I think that to work as a waiter for some time is ok, too. I heard that the money is good and it’s not hard work as well.
You can also try to work as a delivery man. However, there might be some problems with finding a job. As far as I know, employers don’t like to hire teenagers but I think that you can manage it.
Good luck with finding a job.
By the way, where do you want to go? Who do you want to go with? Do I know them?
Love,
Slava

Dear Alex,
Thank you for your letter. It’s been really great to get it. I am absolutely thrilled to see you so soon!
As for fun, I can guarantee it. Besides, the weather is going to be good, + 17, I checked the forecast. In my opinion, it’s going to be neither hot nor cold for this season. On the other hand, if I were you, I would have both worm and light clothes, just in case. Frankly, I don’t think that you will need a lot of money, because food and tickets are on me, but perhaps you will need some money to buy a few souvenirs for your friends back home. By the way, I’ve already bought the tickets to the circus and to the theater, plus, my mom ordered a table at a restaurant.
I am looking forward to seeing you!
Write soon,
Slava
