Thank you for the invitation to come to Kiev and spend the holidays with you. I hope I shall come after my examinations. The examination in Statistics is the most difficult one for me. But I am sure I shall pass it successfully. I am working hard.

The weather in Moscow is dull, it is raining now. My parents are at home today. Mother is teaching our Bob English and father is reading a book on his speciality. They ask you to remember them to your family.

Hope to see you soon. Yours, Peter.
