Why do I need English?

                                                 Why do I need English?
English is the language of international communication. Nowadays, everyone needs to learn English. And there are some reasons,why I need English in my life.
  The first reason is reading books on English. So, a lot of books were written by English authors, like Diana Winn Jones, Herbert Wells etc. I really want to read, for example, Harry Potter in original version on English.
  Secondly, I learn English to find new friends in my travelings. I really like traveling and when I travel, sometimes I need to ask person, where, let us say, museum. In this situation, Еnglish is very nessesary. Also, I can use English in international communications online.
  The last reason is studing abroad. In future, I want to have high education abroad in UK or USA. And in this situation I really need high level of English.
   So, I really need English and I learn English in my school. I hope, I will learn it.

Dear Mary,
Thank you for the last letter.
I was in Italy. It was very cool! I swam in the sea, went to the restaurants, looked sights. Italian cuisin is very tasty! I really love it! In Italy, you can try different types of pizza, pasta and risotto.
One of the most stunning places on Sicilia is volcano Etna. It is one of the biggest volcanoes in Europe. On the slopes of Etna  grows a lot of trees, like orange trees etc.
I was in 4 or more hotels. I like all of them.
I really enjoyed my trip!
Do you have any plans for the summer? Do you want to visit Italy? Have you ever tried Italian cuisin?
Oh, my mother wait me. We are going shopping.
Write me.
