Hi Lucy! 

How are you? I hope you're well. 

I think and hope that we can get to know each other through letters better. If you want I can help you with the Ukrainian or Russian languages. 

Let me introduce myself. My name is Milena, I'm 16 years old and live in Cherkasy, it's near Kiev. I'm a pupil of the 10th grade, and I study in a special English class. So I have been learning English for 9 years and I love this language very much. 

Lucy, what is it like to live in Australia? I don't know much about your country, so I would like you to tell me something about it. What are your hobbies and interests? What do you enjoy doing at the weekend or in your free time? Have you been to other countries? I love to travel, I have been to Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Estonia. But I think my next trips will be to Italy, Spain, the USA or New Zealand, because I adore these countries so much. 

What is your favourite type of music or movies? Also, are you interested in swapping postcards? 

I want to start collecting postcards from all over the world. 

Well, that's all for now. I hope you're having a great day! 

I look forward to hearing from you, 

Your new pen pal, 

Milena
