Hello Ben! Japanese is cool. I never watched the Japanese illustration, they are not interesting to me. I am glad that at least someone is watching them. However, the Japanese language is very difficult, in this I wish you good luck!
We at school learn English. On request, we can also learn French, Italian, Spanish. I know only their native Russian and English, other languages do not want to learn. I do not consider it necessary. I believe that each person chooses what he longer needed. I chose English - you're Japanese. I think what you have done with correct choice.

Best wishes

Dear Robert,Thanks for your letter!I got your letter. My favorite sport is swimming. I go on the training 3 times a week. I can swim breaststroke and backstroke. The coach is currently teaching me how to swim butterfly. I really like to go to the pool. I have a lot of friends. In the summer we will go on the competition. This will be my  first competition. In Russia the most popular sport is footbal and hockey. How about you?

Internet

My name is Alex. And I would like to talk about internet. Internet hard to imagine our lives without Internet nowadays. It has become an important part of every person’s life. It seems that Internet has created a whole new history. It has drastically changed everything around. Computers were also an important invention, but Internet is better than any other type of information. Besides, it’s not only used for information, but also for global communication. Originally, Internet was a military experiment in the USA of 60-s. But soon it became clear that everyone in the world can use it. Since the time of Internet appearance, many other media sources became unnecessary. From one side, it’s great to have everything right here online, from the other side, it’s a shame that people have stopped reading paper books and newspapers. That’s because all books or prints can be found online, as well as all films and programs. One of the obvious advantages of Internet is its efficiency. You can find the information you’re looking for in 5 seconds. Just google it and here is the answer. It is very convenient for students, professionals, experts and all other people. In spite of all the good sides that Internet has, there are some drawbacks. First of all, they are viruses, which can be very dangerous for any computer. That’s why it’s good to have reliable anti-virus software installed. Other minus is the violent content. As well as on TV, there is a lot of violence and cruelty online. Nevertheless, every day millions of people turn on their computers and start surfing the worldwide net, because it’s the easiest and quickest way to stay informed.
