Dear Andrew,  

Hi! Thank you for your letter. I think Mother`s Day is a great holiday. I know how it is difficult to find a good present. Mother’s Day in Russia is celebrated every year in November. Different gifts and flowers are usually given to mothers. As my mum is an active and sporty woman, I always give to her something unusual. For example, I gave her rock-climbing lessons some years ago. When I was a child, I gave to her some drawings or handmade things. They were very nice. I know that my mum keeps them till now. Our favorite family holidays are Birthdays, Christmas, New Year and Easter. Our family enjoys time we spend together.  

Best wishes,

Alex

Dear Andrew,  

Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear from you.

You asked me about Mother's Day. Well, I think it is a great holiday. I know how difficult it is to find a good present for mother. Mother’s Day in Russia is celebrated every year in November. People give their mothers different gifts and flowers. As for me, I usually give my mum some handmade things, such as a shopping-bag or an oven mitten. Our favourite family holidays are birthdays, Christmas, New Year and Easter. Our family enjoys time we spend together.  

Best wishes,
