You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend, Ben.
… Yesterday I watched the New Wave Music programme on TV. I’m not keen on this kind of
music, but it was fun to listen to it. What kind of music do you like? Are there any music festivals
in Russia? Do you play any musical instrument or would you like to play any?

Dear Ben,

I was delighted to receive your letter and learn about your experience watching the New Wave Music programme on TV. It's great that you found it fun to listen to, even though you're not particularly keen on this kind of music.

Speaking of my music preferences, I'm a big fan of various genres. My favorites include pop, rock, and classical music. Each genre has its unique charm and allows me to enjoy different emotions and experiences.

In Russia, we have several music festivals that are worth mentioning. One of the most famous ones is the "White Nights" festival in St. Petersburg, where you can enjoy a wide range of musical performances, from classical concerts to contemporary pop and rock showcases. Another popular festival is "Usadba Jazz Festival," dedicated to jazz music, held in Moscow.

As for playing a musical instrument, I'm proud to say that I play the piano. It brings me immense joy and allows me to express myself through the power of music. If I were to choose another instrument, I would love to master the guitar, as it possesses a unique charm and versatility.

I hope this answers your questions. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more inquiries. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Warm regards,
[Your Name]
