Suggested answer
Hi Noah,
Thanks for writing to me. Great to hear from you.
I’m happy to answer your questions. Personally, I prefer the classics, like Alexander Pushkin and Sergei Yesenin, because their works are very emotional and timeless. Pushkin is my favourite because his poems are full of passion and beauty.
As for my friends, they don’t enjoy reading Russian poetry outside of school. They might find it too serious, boring, or difficult to understand. They prefer other activities instead.
I’m glad you’ve decided on your future career. Was it a difficult decision to make? How long did it take you to make this decision? Did anyone help you make your choice?
Looking forward to your email.
With best wishes,
Sofia
