    TO: Alex Smirnov

    SUBLECT: How are you getting on?

    Hi Alex, How are you? I hope you are fine. What are you doing now?As for me, I am taking a gap year now and I am going to travel around the world and get some work experience. By the way, do students take a gap year in Russia? In Britain some people prefer doing voluntary work abroad. I think it is an incredible way to educate yourself, moreover, to go out of typical routine. I hope you are interested in getting new skills and knowledge.You can find lots of sites on the Internet giving information on a gap year. Write me back and tell me what university you have chosen and why? I am looking forward to hearing from you. All the best, John.
