Dear Ben,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you!
I am happy to know you have chosen your future profession. I’m also interested in foreign languages and cultures. And I hope to visit the USA next summer.
As for me, I have already made up my mind to become a teacher of foreign languages. I like to work with children. They make me feel happy.
I have already been to Italy and France. But I recommend you to visit Russia first for there are many places of interest. If you travelled to Russia, I would be your guide then.
Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. Give my best to your parents. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes,
Ann
